Chapter 19 Old age
The emperor is getting old, and his suspicions are indeed getting heavier and heavier, and he will never allow his courtiers to have any rebellious intentions, which is a great punishment for Gu Jinghuai.
Gu Jinghuai's face was gloomy, and his expression was a little ugly.
But the group of people continued to quarrel as if they had been beaten with chicken blood: "Long live General Gu, General Gu is mighty." ”
Gu Jinghuai's eyes were gloomy and sharp as an eagle, and soon he saw a figure in the crowd.
"Catch him!" Gu Jinghuai stretched out his hand, and his finger was pointed at a heckling vendor, who was the one who took the lead in the heckling just now.
Wang Lichuan is the most powerful general by Gu Jinghuai's side.
Seeing the opportunity, he rushed directly and lifted the man by the collar.
"So you caused the commotion here, let's go to the prison." ”
The man looked like a trader, but he was very stubborn, and he said solemnly: "I didn't commit a crime, why did the military master arrest me." ”
Wang Lichuan sneered: "There was a loud noise in the crowd, causing a commotion, I think you have a bad heart, follow the military master." ”
After speaking, he grabbed the man with his backhand and dragged him away.
Before leaving, the man was still shouting: "I didn't commit a crime, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can the general casually arrest the common people?" "Small wrongs, small wrongs."
"What's so noisy?"
Suddenly, a clear male voice came from the crowd.
Gu Jinghuai narrowed his eyes slightly.
The person who came was none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.
The prince and Gu Jinghuai are a little discordant, this discord is a beam formed from a young age, but it is not known.
Gu Jinghuai and the crown prince have never mentioned it to outsiders.
。
The crowd slowly gave way to a road, and a group of people and horses walked in slowly, led by a man riding a tall horse, with a cold face, but wearing a purple crown and an extraordinary temperament.
Gu Jinghuai saw that it was the crown prince, and immediately dismounted to say goodbye.
"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
The crown prince's name is Chu Yuntai, and he is the only one among the emperor's many sons who has become a talent, so he is deeply valued by the emperor, and he was named the prince at a young age.
The prince came to Gu Jinghuai, and his eyes first touched Shen Seventeen's body, Gu Jinghuai has never been close to women, but he didn't expect to return to Beijing this time with such a beautiful woman in the city.
Even though he has seen countless beauties in the palace, he has never been as extraordinary as the woman in front of him.
The prince's eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy, but it was fleeting and impossible to grasp.
He regained his normal color, glanced at Gu Jinghuai lightly, and said: "General Gu get up, I heard that General Gu fought on the battlefield, returned triumphantly, and was ordered by his father to come to greet the general, and a celebration banquet was held in the palace, and I hope that the general will not be drunk and will not return." ”
Gu Jinghuai clasped his fists and saluted: "Weichen thanked His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"General Gu doesn't have to be polite, it's been a long journey, and I hope the general will go back to his house to rest early" Thank you for the emperor's compassion. ”
Gu Jinghuai's attitude has always been neither arrogant nor impatient, and people can't find any faults.
Chu Yuntai glanced down at the vendor, and continued to say unhurriedly: "This person is just a vendor, the general has general knowledge with him, causing riots among the people and affecting public order, so he still let him go and take the generals back to rest, just a trader, why bother." ”
Gu Jinghuai naturally knew what his intentions were, but since he knew it, he didn't need to get to the bottom of it.
"Obey the order!" So Gu Jinghuai waved his hand, and Wang Lichuan let go of the man and put the man back.
"General Gu's squad returned to the court, it is gratifying and congratulatory, and the fireworks show is arranged in the lonely night, and I hope you will see it lively."
The prince said aloud to the onlookers.
The people below jumped for joy.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is considerate of the people, kind and kind, and he will definitely be a wise monarch in the future."
"Who's to say it isn't."
There was another sound of praise below.
The prince was very satisfied with the situation, waved his hand to the crowd and said, "It's not too early, let's disperse quickly." ”
The people knelt down one after another: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"General Gu, there will be a banquet in the army in the evening, and I hope that the general will come as scheduled with a beautiful woman."
When he finished speaking, the prince also glanced at Shen Seventeen with slanted eyes.
"Wechen thanked His Royal Highness the Prince."
After the turmoil, the streets quieted down, and the generals who returned to the dynasty with Gu Jinghuai's class failed to see the emperor, and were also snubbed by the people.
It's a huge dismount! However, his dark color remained unchanged, and his face was as gloomy as ink, but it was eerie and unpredictable.
"Fuck, bloody rain and bloody wind come back from a battle, and you have to look at the faces of this group of birdmen, what kind of world is it."
Wang Lichuan's face was indignant, although he was wild, but he was still a little measured, so he lowered his head and said it not too loudly.
Gu Jinghuai glanced at him, helped Shen Seventeen to get on the horse again, and slowly walked forward.
General Gu's mansion is already an old mansion, and Gu Jinghuai's grandfather, General Gu, lives in it.
It's just that Gu Jinghuai's father died early, wrapped in horse leather, and martyred himself, so Gu Jinghuai grew up with his grandfather.
After settling the soldiers, Gu Jinghuai took Shen Qiqi into the house.
He grew up on Wolf Mountain since he was a child, and then followed his father to fight on the battlefield for decades, and the time to return to the Shen Mansion was very small, and there were only a handful.
In order to fear that he would get lost in the house, the old general also sent someone to guide him.
The person who came was General Gu's personal servant and the housekeeper in this mansion.
He saw Gu Jinghuai riding to the front of the mansion, and saw a beautiful woman in his arms, and his expression was stunned for a moment.
Gu Jinghuai jumped off the horse, turned around and went to help Shen Seventeen again.
The butler stepped forward and greeted: "Welcome the general back to his house." ”
The old housekeeper had gray hair, but he was meticulously combed and radiant, and he was a neat old man.
Fu Bo has been in the Gu family for decades, and Gu Jinghuai has always respected him and has a very polite attitude.
"Fu Bo doesn't have to be polite, is Grandpa in the house?"
Fu Bo beckoned the little servant to lead Gu Jinghuai's war horse back to the stable, and he led Gu Jinghuai and Shen Seventeen.
"What should this girl be called?" "Her surname is Shen, you don't have to clean up the room for her, she just lives with me."
The housekeeper comprehended and said to a maid, "Cui'e, you take Miss Shen to rest." ”
Cui'e was a maid dressed in emerald clothes, and she walked up to Shen Qiqi and said, "Miss Shen, the old general Gu said that he wanted to meet the general alone, you can go to the side room with the slave maid to rest for a while." ”
Shen Qiqi raised his head, his face ignorant and ignorant.
Gu Jinghuai touched her head: "Seventeen, I have something to do, you just let him go." ”
Shen Qiqi nodded at this time, and walked forward with the maid.
Cui'e was very curious about this strange woman, and looked at her while leading the way.
"Where is the girl from who makes us safe?" Shen Qiqi was stunned and didn't speak, just tugged at the corner of his skirt with his hand, and walked forward stupidly.
Cui'e asked again: "Do you still have a family now, where is your home?" Shen Qiqi's mouth opened slightly to look at her, but he still didn't speak.
Cui'e finally understood, it turned out that this beautiful girl turned out to be a fool.
The general actually came back with a fool.
It's appalling.
Gu Jinghuai came to General Gu.
Mr. Gu's room was very simple, with a dark and dreary table, nothing on it, and a painting on top of the table, indeed a portrait of the king of Hades.
When Mr. Gu was young, he went to the battlefield and was made the living king of Hades, and his soldiers were cunning and vicious, so he was given this terrifying name.
Gu Jinghuai's style of methods is also somewhat related to the old general.
Now Mr. Gu is an old man with gray hair, and his eyes are not very good, but he is alone in the empty deep house.
It's not easy to see people, and after Gu Jinghuai saw him, he saluted respectfully: "Grandfather, I'm back," the old man's eyes were not good, but his brain was still very bright.
"I'm back, this battle is beautiful, but the tree is very popular, you and the prince are not on good terms, now don't be too sharp, just be honest, I also heard about the things on the long street today, don't mess up and be caught."
The old man is like this, although he lives in a deep house, but what he cares about most is always reputation and glory.
