Chapter Forty-Eight: Night Break

It was already the moon, and the camp was surrounded by endless night, and the mountains and forests on both sides were like beasts lurking in the darkness full of danger. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone has already returned to the tent, and the guards are all resting around the campfire, talking in a low voice, only occasionally

Guards on patrol walked by.

Gu Yuan sent Chen Yuan and Lu Luo down to rest, sat alone in her small tent and looked through the books and silks she brought, before leaving Wu County, she specially asked people to collect a few books and silks, all of which were erudite miscellaneous notes and the like. But before she could look at it for a while, she was disturbed by the terrible cries and pleadings that came from not far outside the tent.

It was Zhang Ji's voice, her tent was not far from Gu Yuan's tent, but at this time she was crying so miserably, and her originally shrill voice became more and more harsh, breaking the silence in the camp. It seems that the prince is venting his anger in the middle tent, and Zhang Ji is naturally bound to be beaten. Gu Yuan slowly flipped through the book, she remembered that when she returned to Jiankang as the wife of a hussar general in her previous life, and went to the East Palace with Feng Wenyi for a banquet, because a concubine accidentally spilled wine on the prince's robe when pouring wine for the prince, she was dragged down by the prince, tied to the palace and beaten to death with a leather whip soaked in salt water, and took the concubine's pleading and struggle as a matter of fun, so that the people in the palace watched the young and beautiful woman being tortured to death.

She knows very well that this prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty is brutal by nature, and takes torture and murder as fun, if Gu Yuan made a mistake and fell into his hands at that time, she would be the one who can't survive and die now, so she won't be soft at all, at most, she just looks at Zhang Ji's frightened appearance and feels pitiful and ridiculous.

It's just that Zhang Ji's crying suddenly stopped, as if she was gagged, and she couldn't make a sound, only the sound of silence remained.

"Aunt Yuan is in the tent?" Gu Yuan's figure outside the tent was longing, and someone approached her tent and stood still, and asked in a low voice.

Gu Yuan was startled, closed the book, and slowly stood up, but he took out a small dagger from under the mat and hid it in his sleeve, staring at the tent door: "Who is it?" "By this time there was no one walking outside the tent.

The person who came didn't wait for her to say more, opened the tent door and went straight into the tent, put down the tent door with his backhand, and walked towards her: "Why are you alone in the tent?" It was Feng Wenyi who came, he was still dressed in armor, but his face was very ugly, and he looked at Gu Yuan with a frown.

Gu Yuan never thought that the person who came turned out to be him, and he was even more uninvited, he took two steps back, held the dagger tightly in his hand, and bit his lip and glared at him: "What are you going to do, why did you break into my camp?" ”

Feng Wenyi ignored her look of vigilance and anger, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and walked briskly outside the tent: "Come out with me, I'm afraid I'll cause trouble again if it's late!" ”

Gu Yuan was willing to struggle desperately, but where could she, a weak woman, break free from Feng Wenyi's hands like iron tongs, and was dragged by him to staggered and followed his steps outward, and she couldn't even use the dagger in her hand. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "What the hell are you going to do!" Will they break into my tent and take me away by force? ”

The more she thought about it, the more she hated, in the previous life, he didn't miss the love of husband and wife, and took her life, and she accepted her fate. In this life, she tried her best to avoid him, but he was entangled, and now he was bullying her and humiliating her like this, how could she endure it anymore, a little face was crimson with anger, there were already tears in her eyes, and she forcibly suppressed her crying: "Does the general think that I am alone and helpless and have bullied my sister-in-law, I will obediently obey your words and work for you?!" There was nowhere to vent his grievances, only to break his hand.

Feng Wenyi's footsteps paused, turned his head and looked at Gu Yuan coldly, his eyes were complicated and cold, but he never let go, and his hand was even harder, dragging Gu Yuan to open the door of the tent, striding around the tent, and walking not far behind the tent before throwing off Gu Yuan's hand.

"If you want to live, just shut up and stand here and watch!" His voice was dull, suppressing anger.

The cool night breeze blew Gu Yuan slowly sobered up, she looked at Feng Wenyi in a daze, was he trying to save her? So who was going to kill her? Why did he save her?

Feng Wenyi turned his back to her, looked at the tent quietly, and said slowly for a long time: "Just now, I took people to inspect the camp, passed by the camp tent of the third sister-in-law of the Gu family, and saw that there were several guards in front of the camp tent, all of whom were following Gu Dalang before, I paid attention to hearing behind her tent, she was going to send someone to your tent......"

Gu Yuan only felt that his back was cold, and he had already broken out in a cold sweat, and was blown by the mountain wind, and his light clothes were attached to his body, trembling slightly. Gu Yuan never put Gu Yun in his eyes, because she was already an abandoned son of the Gu family, and she was stupid, even if she wanted to do it, she couldn't hurt herself, but Gu Yuan never thought that she would be able to instruct the guards, no matter what the guards were asked to do, it would make Gu Yuan very dangerous, she was too careless, and she had always relaxed her vigilance based on what she had seen and known in her previous life, and now whether it was people or things, it was different from her previous life, she couldn't be so paralyzed anymore, and then let herself fall into the calculations of others.

"Thank you, General, for the rescue!" Although Gu Yuan was full of complicated feelings towards Feng Wenyi, he also knew that he was sincere in saving him, and sincerely thanked him, "I misunderstood the general before, please don't blame the general." ”

Feng Wenyi pressed the long sword on his waist with his hand and did not look back at her. What she said may not be wrong, he is not for this sister-in-law's ability to determine the war situation and state affairs, but does he really have no other thoughts? He could feel the slow resentment in his chest at the moment, and a faint pain, why did she look down on him like this.

Seeing that he didn't want to take another look and walked forward, Gu Yuan bit his lip and said, "General, I have something to ask for, and I ask the general to help me this time." She hastened to add, "If the general is willing to help me this time, I am willing to tell me something of great importance as a token of appreciation." ”

Feng Wenyi stopped his steps, a self-deprecating sneer appeared on his thin lips, and after a while, he turned his head and looked at the petite figure in the moonlight: "What do you want me to help you?" And what can you tell me? If I'm interested in what you're talking about, I might want to consider helping you once. ”

Gu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he left without looking back, there was still room for negotiation, so she didn't have to worry about the kindness she owed him for saving her. She smiled faintly and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar figure: "The envoy of Western Qin has arrived in Jiankang, and it is the Murong family. ”

As expected, Feng Wenyi's face changed instantly.
