Chapter 284: Flying Petals
Now Tang Menglan is not as embarrassed as Liang Cheng was worried about, and Princess Changping will not think that this is a fool, so she will naturally not rush forward and fall into the well again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, the most embarrassing person at this time is Liang Cheng.
By plucking the petals that flew to the hair, Liang Cheng quietly took her eyes off Princess Changping and Tang Menglan.
The entanglement between these three people, outsiders really can't understand it, and they can't interfere, Liang Cheng is very self-aware, and naturally she doesn't want to mess around, the wisest thing to do at the moment is to not know what to do.
And the person who was one step earlier, or many steps earlier, had already ignored the affairs of those three people, even if he was obviously dragging Qi Jiu into the water, but in the face of Qi Jiu's sight that could freeze to death, he ignored it all.
Liang Cheng only found out now, it turned out that Chu Gu would be so cheeky.
For Princess Changping and Tang Menglan, whether Qi Jiu likes or hates it, Liang Cheng doesn't dare to say anything.
But as long as it is someone who has a little feeling, it can be seen that Qi Jiu is definitely unwilling to be attacked by the two of them like this. The most obvious of them is that whenever Princess Changping and Tang Menglan have a dispute over him, Qi Jiu will look at Chu Gu lukewarmly.
In that glance, the meaning contained in it is much more profound.
For example, the general ledger after the autumn and the like.
Anyway, when even Liang Cheng could see Qi Jiu's displeasure, Chu Gu had always been in power to see nothing, so he let Princess Changping and Tang Menglan keep making noise around Qi Jiu.
"By the way, Brother Qi, I'...... I happened to hear my father and brother mention that this time you are also going to go to Shanhaiguan to participate in the battle like Chu Gu Gongzi, is this true? Impossible, right. ”
was originally a noisy scene, but it was suddenly silenced by Tang Menglan's words.
Princess Changping's hands were still in the air, but the smile had already solidified on her face.
He turned his head to look at Qi Jiu in disbelief, but what he looked at was a cold face as always, a slightly less expression, handsome facial features, and a slightly dull gaze, everything was exactly the same as usual.
But I don't know why, at this time, when looking at Qi Jiu, who was silent, Princess Changping actually began to panic from the bottom of her heart.
Is there something to lose?
The silence began to spread slowly and slowly from the surroundings of Princess Changping, and gradually even Liang Cheng, who was a little slow to react, reacted, and the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Looking up, I saw that Princess Changping and Tang Menglan didn't know when it started, and they all looked at Qi Jiu beside them blankly, and there was no expression in their eyes.
What's going on?
Liang Cheng couldn't react for a moment, I don't know why she was fine for the last moment, but suddenly she took such a sharp turn, but when the memory returned to the last sentence Tang Menglan asked, she understood it all again.
It seems that under this war, even Qi Jiu's fate trajectory is the same as in his previous life, even if the battle is convenient, but the people related to this war are still on the same track as his previous life, and even Qi Jiu has not been spared.
Liang Cheng suddenly didn't know what to say.
Besides, this is Zhemeidu, and she was originally the one who was more suitable for silence, so now she took advantage of the situation and fell silent.
The atmosphere became quiet for a while, until Qi Jiu finally spoke, "It is the ambition of men in the world to charge into battle and defend the family and the country, and Qi Jiu is naturally no exception." ”
Without exception, they have also embarked on the same trajectory.
Liang Cheng lowered her eyes and silently raised her glass and drank all the tea in the cup, but Princess Changping and Tang Menglan seemed to have fallen into a dead silence, and they didn't speak since.
If it was on weekdays, then they would definitely have to haunt Qi Jiu for a long time.
But Princess Changping and Tang Menglan just now didn't seem to be able to see Qi Jiu beside them at all, and they left in a daze, as if their souls had been extracted by someone.
"Today is really a good trip, thank you for the invitation of Prince Chu, but the day of the expedition is close at hand, I hope that before the ninth day of the new year, we will still prepare in the mansion separately, and we don't have to meet again."
Qi Jiu looked at Chu Gu coldly and turned around and left very simply after saying this.
"He has been able to hold back until now, and it has exceeded my expectations."
But for Qi Jiu's rare anger, Chu Gu didn't care very much, and watched Qi Jiu's carriage with crooked eyebrows until he couldn't see it, then he turned around and smiled at Liang Cheng.
But Liang Mingke couldn't laugh.
To be honest, what is Chu Gu arranging this trip for today, and now Liang Cheng still has no clue.
What's more, why did you go to great lengths to force her here?
Whether it was Princess Changping or Tang Menglan, Liang Cheng didn't have the interest to meddle in the affairs between them and Qi Jiu.
But now that Chu Gu has intervened like this, she has participated in today's big drama from beginning to end.
This feeling of watching other people's joys and sorrows from the side, Liang Cheng didn't like it very much, if Chu Gu hadn't been there all along, Liang Cheng would have found a reason to slip away, how could she sit on the side as a spectator from beginning to end.
Besides, the protagonists of this play must not want outsiders to be there.
"Since everyone has already said goodbye, then I will also say goodbye to Chu Gugongzi here, farewell!"
But I thought so, but Liang Cheng still pretended not to know anything and didn't see anything, just as if she really came out to play today, and then everyone came back happily.
It's good for everyone!
Liang Cheng saluted Chu Gufu, turned around and wanted to leave.
But the steps out were stunned, and finally turned back, raising his eyes to look at the smiling eyebrows of the young man who had not moved, Liang Cheng opened his mouth and opened his mouth again, but finally couldn't hold back, "Chu Gu Gongzi, how could the old man of the concubine allow you to go to Shanhaiguan." ”
"I thought Miss Liang San was going to ask about something else." Chu Gu looked at Liang Cheng and raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled with some surprise.
"There's nothing else to ask."
Although this sentence is a little insincere, what Liang Cheng wants to know most at this moment is indeed nothing else. Everything else, it's not important.
Liang Cheng looked at Chu Gu, and her rare expression became resolute, but Chu Gu raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.
"Are you worried about me?"
With a bang, Liang Yuan's mind sounded like thunder, and the person hurriedly waved and explained, "How is it possible!" Chu Gugong...... Childe really loves to laugh. ”
From beginning to end, Liang Cheng cared about Chu Gu going to the front line, so the hard work she had put into him during this time was not all in vain, and she didn't think about anything else at all.
How could Chu Gu have misunderstood that aspect, what was wrong with what she expressed, that would make him have this kind of misunderstanding?
Liang Cheng immediately began to reflect, but at this time, she missed Chu Gude's expression.
That kind of playful smile is really not something that ordinary people can see.
"The front line has been defeated, and the army of Houshu has long been approaching the Shanhai Pass, if this situation is allowed to continue, the comprehensive defeat will only be in the blink of an eye. In this kind of urgency, if even the old general has to put on his armor again, then what can the concubine and her old man be reluctant to do. ”
But jokes are jokes, but in the end, Chu Gu still solved Liang Ming's confusion.
Yes, if the current situation in Shanhaiguan is really critical to such a point, then Concubine Meng and her old man will indeed not be reluctant to do anything anymore, and the current situation in Xiyin really needs reassuring pills to stabilize people's hearts and boost morale.
So what could be more uplifting and motivating than the bloody struggle of the children of the royal family?
Now Qi Ling and Qi Yu are participating in the war, in a certain way. Indeed, it is indispensable.
But that doesn't include Chu Gu.
You must know that in Jian'an, Chu Gu is just a lucky one who was hit by a pie in the sky.
In the final analysis, he is just a declining clan, although he is now valued by Concubine Meng, there are too few people who can see through it like Princess Changping, and most of them still think that Chu Gu is just a momentary figure.
When Concubine Meng and her old man are a hundred years old, won't Chu Gu be beaten back to his original form.
Especially when Chu Gu is completely unloved by Emperor Wen, there are too few people who will treat him as an important person, it used to be like this, even if there is a change now, it won't change much.
Therefore, at this time when the children of the royal clan are needed to go out to stabilize people's hearts, Chu Gu's role is actually much smaller than that of Qi Ling and others.
If you want to be more realistic, it may not even be as influential as Qi Jiu, the prince who won the king.
In such an embarrassing situation, to be honest, Liang Cheng really didn't understand why the concubine and her old man would allow Chu Gu to go to Shanhaiguan to participate in the war, but what Liang Cheng couldn't figure out the most was what Chu Gu was thinking.
If there are not many people who can see through the current situation, Chu Gu can definitely be regarded as one of them, but in such a situation, he still has to take the initiative to go to Shanhaiguan, which is really a bit puzzling.
"If it's just to reassure the soldiers on the front line and boost the morale of the army, then His Royal Highness Qi Ling and His Royal Highness Qi Yu are enough to achieve the effect, why does Chu Gu Gongzi still go together?"
Maybe today's consternation has come too much, so the current Liang Cheng is a little unscrupulous.
She directly asked everything she thought in her heart.
"What the third lady means, is it because I am a little self-conscious?"
But Chu Gu is not someone else after all, when he looks at Liang Cheng now, he still smiles for a long time, and he smiles beautifully, but at the same time, he laughs a little bit, at least Liang Cheng is like this.
"How can the words 'self-immeasurable' be placed on Chu Gu Gongzi's body, Liang Cheng just wants to say that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, if he doesn't have no choice, then why does Chu Gu Gongzi have to go to the battlefield in person and put his own safety out of the way?"
But there are some things that you can't say no matter how angry you are. Therefore, Liang Cheng automatically ignored Chu Gu's smile and said with her eyes down.
"Gentlemen don't stand under the wall?"
At this time, Chu Gu suddenly smiled, "It turns out that in the heart of the third young lady, I am a gentleman?" ”
Liang Cheng was slightly surprised, "This is nature. ”
No matter how many whispers Liang Cheng had to Chu Gu in private, she couldn't say anything against whether Chu Gu was a gentleman or not, because no one could know better than her that Chu Gu was a gentleman in any aspect.
Whether it was "back then", the lone army led to defend the fragmented Xiyin at the last moment, and finally got a barrier, so that the people of Xiyin finally did not have to suffer from the slaughter of foreign enemies under the civil strife.
Or later, just because of a promise made when he was a teenager, he would give up all the sacrifices for Liang Ji in the future, Chu Gu is not the same thing in Liang Cheng's eyes compared to many "gentlemen" who are now regarded as benevolent and righteous.
Therefore, Liang Cheng was very surprised, Chu Gu would ask her like this.
And she seems to have forgotten a very important thing, the current Chu Gu is not the Chu Gu who has guarded the Spring Fear Pass and has become famous all over the world.
is not the Chu Gu who is willing to risk the world's disapproval for Liang Jiao, and there is no return.
The young man in front of her now is just a little person who is not interested or willing to ask more questions even if he is placed in the bustling crowd.
Such a Chu Gu is regarded as a gentleman, that is a puzzling thing, not to mention that this person is still Liang Yuan, the daughter of the Liang family in the Zhendong General's Mansion, which is even more puzzling.
Chu Gu had been smiling and crooked eyebrows since just now, and he was slightly stunned for the first time at this time, he looked at Liang Cheng's expression as a matter of course, and he didn't speak again for a long time, and Liang Cheng was also a little surprised when he saw this.
Why, could it be that she said the wrong thing?
But it shouldn't be, let's not talk about it for others, but at the concubine's old man and second uncle, Chu Gu should have received a lot of praise.
Her praise shouldn't have surprised De Chugu so much.
Liang Cheng was a little puzzled now, but Chu Gu didn't seem to have the intention of solving her doubts, but instead diverted from the previous question, and suddenly said: "It's not too early, I'd better send someone to send the third lady back first." ”
Is that the question that doesn't want to answer her?
Then he just talked about it casually like he used to perfunctory her, why did he change the topic so bluntly?
What kind of time is not early, please, now it is not even Youzheng, the sky is still bright, cloudless, what kind of "hour is not early" ah.
Liang Cheng looked at Chu Gu, who had recovered his previous childish smile at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but Chu Gu deepened his smile a little more, looked at Liang Cheng with a smile and said: "It's really not early, if it is delayed any longer, I'm afraid that Liang Xiang will come to me to ask for guilt." Miss Liang San, please! ”
Having said that, what else can Liang Cheng do if she doesn't leave?
As if her heart was blocked by a big stone, she couldn't hold her breath, so Liang Cheng turned her head and walked towards her carriage.
The door of the black lacquered ivory carved peony was opened by the mothers-in-law, Liang Cheng took Qingjiao's hand and boarded the carriage, as soon as the door closed, Liang Cheng immediately ordered to drive away from here, she is not an ordinary nest fire now.
"On the way from Jian'an to Shanhaiguan, you will pass through Shuozhou, there is a small city named Ji County, there are many good doctors in Ji County, and the battlefield has been a place with a high incidence of epidemics since ancient times, and some of these strange diseases are helpless even the doctors of the Tai Hospital, and I hope that Gongzi will not ignore the role of folk doctors."
But just as Liang Cheng's carriage was about to pass by Chu Gu, who was still standing in place, Liang Cheng's muffled voice suddenly came from inside the car.
No matter how angry she is, she still can't ignore him.
This exhortation cannot be left unsaid.
After all, even if it is not the same battle, the time is not the same, but under so many amazing coincidences, Liang Cheng does not dare to take the slightest risk in this matter.
You must know that in the previous life, not long after my grandfather put on the battle armor and set out for the battle, a sudden illness broke out in Shanhaiguan, although the symptoms could not be considered serious, after all, it was not critical to the lives of soldiers and civilians.
But the result of dizziness and weakness of limbs is no different from dying on the battlefield.
Therefore, in the previous life, Xiyin was defeated so miserably, and with it, Houshu was also victorious.
Such a painful memory, Liang Cheng didn't want to relive it again.
So this time, when her mother was preparing her grandfather's bags and the candidates and doctors who accompanied her, Liang Cheng took advantage of the only right to freely enter and leave the Shen family's study, and on the basis of the secret report sent by the shopkeeper Cao, this place in Ji County was classified as a key area.
Therefore, when the list of accompanying doctors on my grandfather's expedition came out, the "back then" solved such acute illnesses and strange diseases, so that the Xiyin rout was finally stopped in Shuozhou.
For this reason, Liang Cheng is really relieved.
But since the grandfather's side has prepared this, how can Liang Cheng let go of Chu Gu's side, even if she is depressed in her heart, she still reminded Chu Gu out loud.
"Thank you Miss Three for the reminder." Chu Gu's reaction was very flat, as if it was not the same thing as Liang Cheng's words at all.
Of course, this stimulated Liang Cheng again.
"If you listen to me, then nod and say okay, if not, just say no, don't be perfunctory to me."
With the "swish" of the curtain of the blue forging trim being lifted suddenly, the coachman who was driving the car was naturally very good and immediately stopped the horse, so that Liang Cheng could look at Chu Gu angrily.
"Is it that as long as you are angry, you will no longer call me 'Chu Gu Gongzi', but 'you, you, you'?"
But unlike Liang Yuan, who finally broke out in anger, when he saw the little celadon white face that was always almost translucent and appeared in his sight again, Chu Gu smiled crookedly.
But this time, it was replaced by Liang Ming's dumbfounded, "Chu, Chu Gu Gongzi laughed, I have always been called 'Gongzi'." ”
"Oh, yes, that's what I misheard?"
"Big ...... Probably. ”
Liang Cheng suddenly lowered her head and couldn't lower it any longer, for fear that Chu Gu would see the weakness in her eyes, when did it start, did she ever call Chu Gu like that?
Why didn't she remember it herself? And if it was really like Chu Gu said, would it have offended him thoroughly when she didn't know it?
Liang Cheng's eyebrows were almost wrinkled together, and she kept thinking about it, wondering if she had inadvertently stepped on Chu Gu's forbidden area and touched his scales.
"I'll keep it in mind."
"Huh?"
But when Liang Cheng herself was still there, secretly trying to recall her memories that she didn't know where she had gone, Chu Gu suddenly whispered something that made her dumbfounded.
Suddenly, Liang Yuan's mind stopped, and she raised her eyes a little stupidly to look at the young man who was still standing next to her carriage, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time to understand what he had just said.
"I said, I'll take what you just told me to heart."
But Chu Gu seemed to be very intimate at this time, and without any trouble, he softly repeated what he had just said, which shocked Liang Cheng again, don't talk to her so gently, he is foul!
"Now, can you go back with peace of mind?"
"When......... Of course, I never had anything to worry about, so I took my leave. ”
Just like when it was lifted, with a "bang", Liang Cheng angrily lowered the curtain in front of the black lacquer ivory carved window, covering the scene outside the car, and naturally also covering Chu Gu's beautiful young face.
This time, Liang Ming's carriage never stopped, and in Chu Guyue's eyebrows, it gradually melted into the moonlight until there was no trace.
"Childe, the imperial doctors who went to Shanhaiguan with me this time, but the concubine and her old man had already personally decided and arranged it earlier, so it's not good to change it at this time, right?"
And after Liang Cheng and his party were no longer visible, a young guard beside Chu Gu suddenly whispered.
"It's okay, just arrange it directly by my side at that time, and there is no need to make another book." Chu Gu replied very casually.
"W-Isn't this okay?"
"What's so bad?"
Chu Gu turned his head, and suddenly looked at the young guard behind him with a smile, and the little guard was so frightened that he quickly straightened up, and replied in a solemn voice: "What the son said is that there is nothing bad about it. ”
There was still a solemn expression on his face, but the little guard's back slowly began to break out in a piece of cold sweat, for his son-in-law's terrifying smile, he really couldn't bear it for a long time.
