Chapter 36: Wronged
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?"
"Seventeen, seventeen?" Gu Jinghuai shouted, but no one responded.
"General, what's going on?" Fu Jingyi walked in with a team of people and asked Gu Jinghuai.
"Seventeen was taken captive."
"What?" Gu Jinghuai pursed his lips into a straight line, and the undercurrent in his eyes seemed to be about to devour people's hearts.
"Hurry up and chase them, they won't be able to escape for long, and they will dig three feet into the ground to find people for me."
"Yes!!" The mountain breeze at night was cold and unruly, blowing on Shen Qiqi's face.
The horses beneath him neighed and galloped forward.
The wind ruffled her long hair, confusing the night.
"Where am I? She woke up and found herself sitting on horseback, with a dull pain coming from her back.
Gu Su Yunheng stopped her in his arms, and she was still wearing a black night suit.
"Seventeen, I took you to escape, you hold on, I'll take you back."
He raised the reins high and said to Shen Seventeen in a firm tone.
Shen Qiqi leaned towards his chest, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally passed out.
Gu Su Yunheng pursed his thin lips, his eyes were dark, he looked into the distance, raised his horsewhip high, and roared forward.
Gu Jinghuai looked for Shen Seventeen for a day and a night, but Shen Seventeen's whereabouts were unknown, and there was no trace of him.
The invading assassin did not take the generals with him, nor did he take any military secrets, and assassinating him was not only a fool.
It's a bit weird.
Gu Jinghuai sat in the barracks, facing the desk, unable to sleep for a long time, all in his mind was Shen Qiqi pounced on him, desperately trying to block a sword for him.
The military doctor bandaged Gu Jinghuai's wound, he picked up the pen with his uninjured hand, and slowly wrote a few lines on the report to the court.
"At night, the enemy army received a surprise attack, heavy casualties, the prince fought bravely against the enemy, unfortunately died, sacrificed his life for the country, and was buried in the north mountain of the shogunate city now, hoping that the relatives at home will mourn."
In this way, the death of the prince is finally over, and he also has an excuse that he does not have to send troops back to the court.
It's just that...... What about seventeen? Where was Seventeen taken?
Seventeen lay in Gusu Yunheng's military camp for three days, and Gusu Yunheng took care of Shen Seventeen without untying his clothes.
The military doctor who followed in the army prepared medicine for Shen Qiqi, and Gu Su Yunheng helped her change it.
The wound was on Shen Qiqi's left shoulder, and Gu Jinghuai's military doctor had already treated her slightly, so the injury was not very serious.
Seventeen was unconscious, probably because of excessive blood loss.
Gu Su Yunheng asked the soldier to find some supplements, and took the spoon to taste the inside of Shen Seventeen's mouth a little bit.
Shen Qiqi finally woke up in the afternoon of the third day.
The eyelids slowly opened, and into the camp tent, which was indeed unfamiliar, the figure of a man was lying in front of the bed.
A ray of sunlight outside the tent slowly peeked in, warm and familiar.
"Seventeen, you're awake at last," the man lying in front of the bed looked up, revealing his suave face covered with stubble.
Gu Su Yunheng's eyes were still obviously red and bloodshot, and his eyes were dark blue.
Shen Qiqi was a little stunned and didn't react.
Gu Su Yunheng grabbed Shen Seventeen's hand and said, "Seventeen, have you forgotten, that night, I led my troops into Gu Jinghuai's military camp and rescued you." ”
