Chapter 213: Talking in Sleep
Lu Qingqing was quite surprised by Shen Bai's arrival.
She originally wanted to establish the majesty of her Mrs. Wu, but when she saw Shen Bai, she became a saw-mouthed gourd, and she couldn't say anything.
Shen Bai had a bad appetite and couldn't eat anything, but asked them a lot of questions.
Su Ying was originally going to be engaged to Wu Shouxin, but something suddenly happened to the Su family, and Su Xiaoqiu was found to be an impostor, but it was actually a detailed work sent to Zhaoling by Yuexi.
The death of Emperor Hengde is also related to Su Xiaoqiu, murdering the emperor is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans, the Su family was beheaded, and the other clansmen were exiled to the barbarian land, and the marriage between Wu Shouxin and Su Ying naturally collapsed.
After the collapse of the Su family, Jiang Dean became ill inexplicably, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital continued to diagnose and treat him but he never got better, so Zhao Che could only let him recuperate with peace of mind.
Now Shen Ruxiu has been promoted to become a lieutenant, and the post of prime minister is held by Li Wei.
In the past three years, Li Wei has made a lot of achievements in Chenzhou, and many measures to improve people's livelihood were promoted in Zhaoling after he did a pilot project in Chenzhou.
In the past three years, the people in the court have been replaced, Zhao Che paid attention to the imperial examination system, promoted many children of poor families, and all the wine bags and rice bags in the military department were kicked out and replaced by military generals with strategies and overall vision.
The henchmen installed by Li Deren before were cleaned up little by little, and the atmosphere in the court was getting better little by little.
After re-communicating with Nanxiangguo, the Wei family re-emerged, Zhaoling's business activities are also increasing, the queen mother is old, and there is no longer much interference in the manual department, the Ministry of Industry has improved the equipment of the army officers and soldiers, and also built some artillery trucks out, at the beginning of this summer, Muzhou discovered the mine, the imperial court has taken over, and began mining.
These are all things that Shen Bai wants to do after he is reborn, and it turns out that even without her, Zhao Che can manage Zhaoling well with his own ability.
Before he came back, Shen Bai was quite calm, and when he heard with his own ears that all these things had become a reality, Shen Bai couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
Zhaoling is getting better and better, and the national strength is so strong, there should be no war in recent decades.
Shen Bai secretly wondered, Wu Shouxin and Lu Qingqing looked at each other, and after looking at each other for a long time, Lu Qingqing asked cautiously: "Why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Prince how is it?" ”
Shen Bai poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, nodded and said, "I was about to ask, how is Brother Gu now?" ”
Wu Shouxin immediately said: "Zhenguo Gong is getting older, not suitable for killing the enemy at the border, His Majesty recalled him to Beijing last year, His Royal Highness the Prince guarded Yuanfeng County, at the end of last year, the enemy army in the west of Vietnam had 30,000 horses and horses to attack Yuanfeng County, His Royal Highness the Prince killed all the enemy troops under the tower, His Majesty promoted him to the commander of Zhenyuan. ”
We've won the battle.
Shen Bai was not surprised, held his chin and said, "Brother Gu is really powerful. ”
That's it?
Lu Qingqing and Wu Shouxin looked at Shen Bai without giving up, Shen Bai blinked his eyes and looked innocent: "What's wrong, do I have dirty things on my face?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”
The two opened their mouths, but they couldn't make a sound, and they didn't know how to ask Shen Bai.
Shen Bai knew what they wanted to ask, but these things could not be explained clearly in three or two sentences, and even if they did, they might not be able to understand, so Shen Bai pretended not to understand, and forced himself to eat something, so he said that he couldn't eat and went back to rest.
slept until midnight, there was a soft sound outside the window, Shen Bai slept lightly, and immediately sat up, and Dongfang Ying came in through the window.
Shen Bai said faintly: "It took so long to come back, I thought you were eaten by evil spirits." ”
Dongfang Ying strode to the side of the bed and said, "It came here and swallowed a few spirits, and its soul power is good, so it took a little time to find it." After saying that, he took out the lock spirit bag, and the evil spirit was locked inside, emitting a faint white light.
The soul-attracting bell on Shen Bai's wrist rang, and Shen Bai said, "Not here, let's go outside." ”
Today, he already knew a lot of things from Wu Shouxin and Lu Qingqing, Shen Bai didn't plan to go to Hanjing again, just waiting for Dongfang Ying to take him away.
Dongfang Ying probably guessed what she was thinking, put the lock spirit bag in her arms, and carried Shen Bai out of the state capital.
There was also an official patrol outside, Dongfang Ying directly carried Shen Bai out of the city, found a secluded place before putting Shen Bai down, and handed over the lock spirit bag to Shen Bai.
Shen Bai opened the lock spirit bag and released the evil spirit inside, as soon as the evil spirit came out, he wanted to escape, Shen Bai raised his wrist and shook it gently, the evil spirit was trapped in the air and could not escape, Shen Bai opened his mouth and began to chant a requiem.
In the past three years, she has sung this song countless times, sending away countless souls, most of those souls are unknown to her, and they are very peaceful when they leave, Shen Bai guesses, they should go to a place without pain and sorrow.
This soul is a little stubborn, perhaps there is still the last trace of resentment of the evil spirit, the first time the requiem is sung, it has not returned to its original appearance, and the soul bell has added a crack.
Shen Bai felt a little stuffy in his chest, and patiently sang a requiem, and the evil spirit hanging in the air slowly condensed into a human form and returned to its original appearance.
To Shen Bai's surprise, this soul was what she looked like before she died in her previous life.
That day, she wore a navy blue two-color embroidered bird court dress, and a purple and gold crown was tied on her head, and the purple and gold crown was chosen by her and the queen of the crown with Brother Gu, one for her, one for Brother Gu.
Hearing the news of Brother Gu's death, she went to the border with the determination to die, and then was picked under the horse by Blazing Fierce.
She was reborn with her memories, she has always been fine, when was she swallowed by an evil spirit?
Shen Bai was surprised, and the requiem in his mouth also stopped.
The soul hanging in the air looked at her in confusion, and after a moment, he waved at her, and then turned into a ball of light and flew away, just like the other souls.
She...... Sent her away on her own?
Shen Bai was a little stunned, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
She didn't die, why did she send herself away?
As he was puzzled, he felt a tingling pain in his chest, and he couldn't breathe.
"Oriental ......" shadow.
Before the last word was finished, Shen Bai fell straight to the ground holding his chest and fainted.
Before losing consciousness, Shen Bai's last thought was: I'll go, Lord Yama, you're too much, and the young master didn't leave a single last word!
"Sugar gourd."
"Baked cakes."
"Pancake fruit!"
All kinds of cries came into his ears, and Shen Bai was a little regretful, could the underworld also sell these things like the human world?
Her eyelids were a little heavy, and it took her a lot of effort to open them, and the first thing that caught her eye was a maroon horse's buttocks, the horse's hair was shiny, and the horse's tail swept around quite powerfully.
Shen Bai was lying on the horse's back, her head was facing the horse's buttocks, and by coincidence, when she opened her eyes, the horse broke into a loud fart.
"I'll fuck your uncle!"
Shen Bai scolded, and then found that his hands were tied, and behind the horse's buttocks, there were seven or eight people riding horses in strong suits, their backs were straight, and they all had a big knife pinned to their waists, and their body momentum was very different from others.
At a glance, you can see that it is a practitioner.
Shen Bai looked left and right, Dongfang Ying was not around, and the soul-attracting bell in her hand didn't know where it went.
What are these people kidnapping her for?
Shen Bai was puzzled, and someone in front of him shouted flatteringly: "Please in the guest house, there is a stable in the backyard to feed the horses, there is a good room upstairs to live in, the food in our store is delicious, the price is fair, and the guest officer is absolutely satisfied!" ”
"Eight rooms."
Someone replied, and as soon as he heard this voice, Shen Bai's whole person froze.
The jujube red horse stopped at the door of the inn, and the man dismounted first, and then grabbed Shen Bai's trouser waist and carried the person off his shoulder.
The weather was already cold, but this person was still wearing a thin summer shirt, his shoulders were hard and powerful, which made Shen Bai's stomach hurt a little, she hung upside down on the man, her head was not clubbed on the horse's buttocks, but the man's waist was forcefully narrowed.
This man also had a large knife pinned to his waist, but the handle of the knife was decorated with gold wires, and his status was obviously much higher than that of others.
Shen Bai's throat was choked and she couldn't make a sound, and the man directly carried her upstairs under the guidance of Xiao Er.
After entering the house, the man put her down, and Shen Bai saw his face clearly.
The young man's cold eyebrows and eyes were dyed on the battlefield, his skin was tanned, and his eyes became more and more sharp and deep.
It's really Gu Hengzhou.
Shen Bai swallowed his saliva, and couldn't understand how Gu Hengzhou, who was supposed to be in Yuanfeng County, could appear here.
Gu Hengzhou's eyes were quite indifferent when he looked at her, as if he was looking at a stranger, Shen Bai hadn't seen him since he gave him a worry trick three years ago, and now he didn't know if Gu Hengzhou still remembered her and what kind of feelings he had for her.
"Guest officer, we have steamed lamb, steamed deer tail, steamed bear's paw, ......" Xiao Er stood aside and wanted to report the name of the dish, but Gu Hengzhou interrupted directly and said, "Three dishes and one soup are fine, and then send some hot water." ”
"Okay."
Xiao Er had to order him to leave, and Gu Hengzhou sat on the side and took off his shoes.
He didn't know how long he had been on the road, and all the sand poured out of his shoes was sand.
After a while, a guard came in and whispered, "Great Commander, no suspicious people have been found near the inn, and someone has been sent to the city to inquire." ”
"Don't act rashly, and report them as soon as you find them." Gu Hengzhou commanded, the guard nodded in response, and then looked at Shen Bai hesitantly, and asked softly: "Great Commander, what should I do with this girl?" ”
Gu Hengzhou glanced at Shen Bai lightly, and said in a deep voice: "She suddenly appeared there, most of them have something to do with Xizuo, first detain me by my side, and then bring her back to the camp for careful interrogation." ”
"Yes."
The guards retreated, and Shen Bai looked at Gu Hengzhou with wide eyes.
What does it mean to be detailed? Could he really not recognize her?
Feeling her gaze, Gu Hengzhou turned his head to look at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
His tone was cold, his face was tense, and he only had to write a few big words on his face: If you look at Lao Tzu again, I will beat you.
Shen Bai was afraid of being beaten, so he whispered, "My hand hurts, can I untie the rope?" ”
"I can't."
The rope was tied with a special knotting technique in the army, and Shen Bai tried to untie it secretly for a while, but not only did he not untie it, but tied it tighter.
Gu Hengzhou left her aside and ignored her, Xiao Er quickly sent hot water up, Gu Hengzhou set up the two stools together, took off his coat and put it on it as a curtain to block Shen Bai's sight, but Shen Bai still saw that there were many scars of different sizes on his back, which should have been injured on the battlefield in the past three years.
Shen Bai didn't have the heart to peep, he sat there stunned, he never expected to see Gu Hengzhou again in this way, and it seemed that Gu Hengzhou didn't remember her at all.
Gu Hengzhou took a bath very quickly, after taking a bath, he changed into a gray robe of cotton and linen, Xiao Er brought food, Gu Hengzhou didn't want to let go of Shen Bai, he ate by himself, Shen Bai could only watch dryly and swallow saliva beside him.
After eating, Xiao Er took away the dishes and chopsticks, and Gu Hengzhou began to interrogate and asked Shen Bai: "Why did you appear outside Quzhou City?" ”
"I went there with my friend to do some errands, I was not in good health, I suddenly fell ill on the way, fainted and died, my friend should have gone to help me find a doctor."
Shen Bai said half-truthfully, Gu Hengzhou glanced at her and asked, "You are sick, and your friend left you in a mass grave, did he go to help you find a doctor?" ”
That doesn't sound like the truth.
Shen Bai secretly scolded Dongfang Yingyitong and said: "My disease is rather peculiar, and I can't move easily when I get sick, otherwise my muscles and veins will be broken and I will die, and my friend will have to do it as a last resort." ”
Gu Hengzhou stopped talking, and only looked at Shen Bai quietly.
Shen Baiqiang pulled out a smile, lacking confidence.
Gu Hengzhou not only moved her, but also put her upside down on the horse's back and hunched her far away, if she really wanted to die of anger, she would have become a corpse and cold away.
"My friend's name is Dongfang Ying, and he is the incense maker of the first family of Nanxiang Kingdom, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to Nanxiang Country for a visit." Shen Bai moved out of Dongfang's house and said, "I'm really not a fine worker. ”
Gu Hengzhou asked, "What's your name?" ”
Shen Bai began to regret that she didn't change her name in Nanxiang, choked up, and said, "My name is Shen Bai." ”
"Which cypress?"
"The cypress of the cypress."
Shen Bai said truthfully, Gu Hengzhou's expression did not change at all, and he said officially: "I will send someone to verify what you just said, before that, your suspicion cannot be ruled out, and you can't leave my line of sight, otherwise no matter what your identity is, I will treat you as a detailed treatment." ”
Gu Hengzhou's tone was cold, and he didn't mean to show mercy to his subordinates at all.
Shen Bai nodded repeatedly, and his stomach growled twice.
Gu Hengzhou helped her untie the rope and asked Xiao Er to send two white-flour steamed buns and a bowl of rice porridge.
This food is far worse than what Gu Hengzhou just ate.
However, Shen Bai did not dislike or complain, and obediently picked up the steamed bun and ate it with rice soup.
At this moment, she found that the soul bell in her hand was gone, and her body did not seem to be as weak as before, at least after tossing on horseback for so long, she did not have symptoms of angina.
Is this a return to the light or is it extremely Tailai?
Shen Bai couldn't figure it out, and when she finished eating the steamed buns, Gu Hengzhou tied her up and threw her on the bed with an iron face.
Gu Hengzhou was still busy, so he found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write on the table.
After sleeping too much in the past three years, Shen Bai was not sleepy at all, lying on the bed and watching Gu Hengzhou in a daze.
Before she died, she actually saw him.
Similar to the previous life, he suffered a lot of injuries, but he also earned a lot of military merits and became the famous commander of Zhaoling.
Unlike the previous life, Zhaoling's national strength will become stronger and stronger, and his soldiers and horses will also be very strong.
He will not die young, he will go down in history and live on forever.
Worried that she was a woman, Gu Hengzhou gave her the bed, put the table and stools together and slept for one night.
The group stayed at the inn for two days, and after discovering the traces of the fine work, they chased them out of the city.
Gu Hengzhou had completely mastered the traces of Xizuo, but he was not in a hurry to arrest people, and followed Xizuo all the way back to Yuanfeng County.
This can be regarded as Gu Hengzhou's territory, he directly threw Shen Bai into the camp to watch, the people in the camp were about the first time to see him bring the girl back, even if they knew that Shen Bai might be a small worker, these people did not embarrass her, placed her in Gu Hengzhou's camp tent, sent someone to guard her, and did not leave three meals a day.
Dongfang Ying never appeared, and Gu Hengzhou chased that fine work and did not show up for five days.
On the sixth day, there was a commotion outside the tent, Shen Bai had just been lying down in the afternoon, and before he woke up in a daze, Gu Hengzhou was helped to sit on the edge of the bed, no one paid attention to Shen Bai, and directly ripped off Gu Hengzhou's coat, revealing a hard and strong chest.
He was wounded, stabbed in the arm, and bleeding profusely.
But compared to other injuries, this is a small injury.
The military doctor quickly helped him bandage the wound, and from the words of these people, Shen Bai pieced together what happened, and there were Yuexi Xizuo infiltrated Zhaoling, stole the city defense maps of several state cities, and was intercepted by Gu Hengzhou in Yuanfeng County, Gu Hengzhou will plan and surround the Yuexi enemy legion who came to meet the Xizuo.
At the critical moment, Hu Chi led troops to the rescue.
Gu Hengzhou fought with Hu Chilie and was injured by Hu Chilie, but Hu Chilie was picked off the horse by Gu Hengzhou and broke his arm.
In the past three years, the two have fought a lot of times, and they can be regarded as mortal enemies, this time Su Chilie was cut off by Gu Hengzhou's arm, at least for ten years, Yue Xi did not dare to commit Zhaoling again.
These soldiers were quite worried about Gu Hengzhou, but they were excited and excited.
This is a hard blow to the arrogance of the Yuexi people.
Everyone crowded into the camp and talked for a while before leaving, and the military doctor asked Gu Hengzhou to be a good general, and he turned to meet Shen Bai's gaze, as if he suddenly found that there was such a person in the camp.
Shen Bai obediently got off the bed and said dryly: "They let me live here, I haven't been anywhere in the past few days, and the soldiers at the door can testify." ”
Gu Hengzhou ignored her and walked straight to the bed to lie down and rest.
Shen Bai stood for a while, thinking that Gu Hengzhou was asleep, and quietly walked to the door, just after taking two steps, Gu Hengzhou's voice sounded: "Where are you going?" ”
Shen Bai found a nice reason and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing you, and I want to help you boil medicine." ”
"I don't need you." Gu Hengzhou said, and said in a deep voice: "Just stay here." ”
Just stay and stay, who made this place all your people.
Shen Bai took a stool and sat on the edge of the bed to guard, Gu Hengzhou's breathing quickly became smooth, and he fell asleep very deeply.
This night, Gu Hengzhou slept for four hours.
When he woke up again, it was already dark, and it was raining outside, Shen Bai was still sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his chin and looking at him with a radiant look, and said word by word: "Great Commander, do you know, I talk in my sleep when I sleep." ”
