151. [150] Three years ago (asking for a monthly pass)
However, this kind of time is relatively rare, Gao Yuan on weekdays is as serious and down-to-earth as ever, while Gao Yi is very reliant.
I can't tell the two brothers apart from my appearance, but I can finally divide them from my personality, so that Mu Chen will not always mess up.
Although Gao Yi's performance is sometimes too two-sided, this is nothing to Mu Chen, as long as he is loyal to her.
Mu Chen asked: "Actually, I really don't know much about Hongling, but you two brothers, since you have known her for so long, you must know her background and details, do you know that she is a member of the Cangshen God Sect?" ”
"The Cult of the Netherworld?" Gao Yi looked shocked and stunned, "Won't it?" ”
He didn't know? Haven't you known each other for a long time? I don't know Hongling's identity?
Mu Chen has been paying attention to the change in Gao Yi's expression, he really doesn't look like he is lying, perhaps, he really doesn't know.
In fact, Gao Yi really didn't know, because Gao Yi, like Gao Yuan, hadn't seen Hongling for three years.
Under Mu Chen's questioning all the way, he learned something from Gao Yi's mouth.
Three years ago, Hongling almost became Gao Yi's sister-in-law, at that time, Hongling, was born in a merchant family, her father was in the cloth business, and she had never heard of anything to do with the Cangshen Divine Sect.
Originally, Gao Yuan and Hongling's wedding date had already been set, but a temporary expedition made Gao Yuan miss the wedding date, and after returning to the capital, Hongling disappeared like evaporating from the world.
The most strange thing for the two brothers is that everything seems to have been planned, not only Hongling is missing, but even her family, as well as relatives and friends who know her, have disappeared without a trace in the capital, and they can't find any news about Hongling at all.
Although the two are very anxious and want to find Hongling, there are some things that you can't do with your hard work, life must go on, and the two of them, as generals, can't always be obsessed with private affairs and leave national affairs behind, so as time goes by, the two can only gradually give up looking.
In fact, Gao Yuan didn't want to give up, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, he didn't want to give up, but Gao's father's last wish before his death could not be ignored, and the two brothers promised that they would do their best to serve the country loyally.
As for why Gao's father was loyal to the imperial court, it was not because Emperor Yonghe had been kind to their Gao family, and those old things were not enough to be humane anymore.
Three years later, when I see it today, I think Gao Yuan also has mixed feelings.
As for why Hongling suddenly became a member of the Cangshen God Sect, Gao Yi really had no way of knowing.
Even Gao Yi himself wants to know whether Hongling still has feelings for his brother now, because looking at the reaction just now, Hongling is too indifferent, and there is no joy of reunion after a long absence.
It seems that the disappearance of three years ago is the key.
Maybe Hongling only got involved with the Cang Shen Sect after she disappeared, or maybe she was already a member of the Cang Shen Shen Sect, but she had been hiding it.
Anyway, Mu Chen couldn't get the answer to this question from Gao Yi's mouth.
But what is certain is that Hongling's disappearance three years ago must be related to the Cang Shen Divine Cult.
Perhaps, Gao Yuan knows more, but because of Gao Yuan's feelings for Hongling, he may not be able to tell the truth.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost lunchtime, and Hongling was about to walk to the prince's tent with a plate of hot food.
Suddenly, a figure stood in front of her, Hongling looked up, it was Gao Yuan, in fact, she had guessed it before she looked up.
"General Gao, is there something wrong with me?" The corners of Hongling's mouth curled into a smile that seemed to be nothing.
"You used to call me Gaoyuan, why do you always call me General Gao now?" Gao Yuan was distressed, every time he heard Hongling call himself "General Gao", he felt that he was very far away from Hongling, although it was close in front of him, but it was so strange that it seemed to be just an illusion he saw.
"It was before, and now it is now, I hope General Gao will remember what I said last night." After Hongling finished speaking, she wanted to go around him and move forward.
"I know, I'll respect you." Gao Yuan's calm acceptance made Hongling stop at the moment of rubbing shoulders, "Although we have no relationship with husband and wife, it is always okay to be friends." You said that your mission is to protect the prince, and it just so happens that I am also a loyal servant of the prince, since we have the same goal, why make it too embarrassing to meet each other? Gao Yi and I are both generals, and it's really hard to distinguish between me and him when you call General Gao, so you should call me Gao Yuan. ”
Even if he said how against his will to be a friend, Gao Yuan still chose to settle for the next best, and it was better to be a husband and wife, and to be a friend than that of Hongling and his own membrane getting thicker and thicker.
Perhaps, retreat to the position of a friend and get along well, and one day Hongling will change her mind.
"It's good that you figure it out, I'll go and deliver food to the prince, otherwise the food will be cold and not good for your health." Hongling just smiled slightly, didn't look at him, left a sentence and left.
Gao Yuan smelled the aroma of the food, there was Hongling's best chestnut chicken, and she remembered that in the past, she often cooked for herself and cooked for herself.
Hongling's craftsmanship is very good, and she is full of love, she likes any dish Gao Yuan, I remember she once said: "Gao Yuan, this chestnut chicken has my own unique seasoning secret recipe, I only make it for you to eat, others can't eat it." ”
That feeling of exclusivity is so superior.
Now, this is no longer exclusive to him, and he doesn't even know if he will have a chance to eat this unique chestnut chicken again.
The heart, and then faint pain, the feeling of losing and regaining, and regaining and regaining, is really very uncomfortable, it turns out that goodbye is just a little comfort before God gives pain, after the appeasement, before he feels comfortable, he tears him to pieces.
said that he was protecting the prince, but Hongling also took care of it too well, and the meals for the day were properly cooked.
You must know that for Mu Chen, eating well is a kind of enjoyment, and now she doesn't feel that marching and fighting is very bitter at all, but feels that it is like playing in the countryside, which is another good experience.
It's just that the better Hongling takes care of it, the less it tastes in Gao Yuan's heart.
Mu Chen took advantage of a meal and praised Hongling's craftsmanship for being very good, so he took the opportunity to ask casually: "Hongling, your good craftsmanship is really not ordinarily good, where did you learn it?" ”
Hongling smiled lightly: "It's all self-taught." ”
"I heard Gao Yi say, three years ago, you were the daughter of a big family in the capital, and usually the daughter doesn't have to cook by herself, could it be that you are particularly interested in cooking?" Mu Chen gradually deepened, she didn't want to ask too directly at once, which would make Hongling feel repulsed, so she used her cooking skills to probe her past.
Hongling was thoughtful, she wasn't particularly interested in cooking, she just wanted to see Gao Yuan's happy and satisfied appearance because of the food she cooked.
How could she not be a lady who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers?
Just for the sake of her beloved, she is willing to do something she has not done.
Remembering that time, in order to learn to cook, my fingers were cut by a kitchen knife I don't know how many times, and the back of my hand didn't know how many times I was burned by an open flame, although her skin hurt a little, but she didn't feel wronged at all, thinking that Gao Yuan would be happy to eat the dishes she cooked, and the sweetness floating in her heart had far overshadowed the pain.
"Hongling, Hongling?" Mu Chen woke up Hongling in a trance, "What are you thinking?" ”
Hongling is a smart woman, she understands Mu Chen's intentions, so she gets straight to the point: "The prince doesn't have to beat around the bush, do you want to know my past?" ”
Mu Chen looked at her with appreciative eyes: "Since you heard it, I'll say it directly." Three years ago, you were the daughter of a big family in the capital, why did you become the protector of the Heavenly God Sect three years later? ”
"Gao Yi told you, right?" Some things are not a secret to Hongling, "That's right, from childhood to adulthood, my family background is good, my father and Gao Yuan, Gao Yi's father is a world friend, so I and their brothers have known each other many years ago, at that time, I didn't know what the Cang Shen Cult was, until three years ago, my family suffered an accident, my life hung by a thread, it was the sect leader who saved me, and since then I have joined the Cang Shen Sect." ”
"In three years, you have trained from Miss Qianjin to a martial arts royal sister, and your talent is too strong, right!?" Mu Chen couldn't help but look at the fierce woman in front of him with a stunning gaze.
Hongling sneered: "Of course not, in fact, I had a foundation before, Gao Yuan and Gao Yi both taught me martial arts, and my double sword swordsmanship was taught to me by Gao Yuan, but after meeting the sect leader, after his pointing, my martial arts were only improved." ”
Speaking of martial arts, the picture of practicing swords with Gao Yuan in the past resurfaced in front of me, and everything seemed to be just yesterday.
He held her hand, spoke in her ear, and taught her tricks and styles, if she changed hands, how to use force, and her whole heart was drunk.
Gao Yuan always said that she was absent-minded, but in fact, she was very attentive, intently appreciating his movements, and listening intently to his words.
Famous teachers produce high apprentices, and no matter how inattentive they are, Hongling still learns a lot.
"So when your sect leader teaches you martial arts, he doesn't show his face?" Mu Chen's words once again brought Hongling back to reality from her memories.
"Yes, I don't know why, every time he appears, he wears a black gauze hat, Bai Yan always says that he must be an ugly monster, so he doesn't dare to see people, but I don't think so, under that hat, I vaguely feel that face should be quite handsome." Hongling is confident in her instincts.
"You probably fell in love with your sect master, so you dumped Gao Yuan, right?" Mu Chen's question was very direct.
She didn't know if Hongling still had feelings for Gao Yuan now, and she didn't know if Hongling had seen something different, so she hadn't looked for Gao Yuan for three years, anyway, it was just her own random speculation, so she asked when she rushed out.
Hongling Yanran only felt that the prince had misunderstood: "The prince is thinking too far, of course it's not like this." Gao Yuan and I ended up three years ago, and at that time, I finally saw my future path, and I would not fall in love with anyone again. The leader is my life-saving benefactor, not the person I love, I know this very clearly, I will die for him, mainly because of his life-saving grace. ”
