Chapter 179: The Prince

The south bank of the Sushui River

Longmendu

The night sky in the northwest is like a dream that is so thick that it can't be dissolved, and even the original stars are hidden, as if to cooperate with the inky dark clouds to hide the secrets in the darkness.

The ferry on the south bank was handled by the right guard of Chengdu, and the commander of the guard made Gu Chenxi symbolically shake in front of the ferry at nightfall, and then prepared to hide in the big tent of the Chinese army, after all, the night breeze in the northwest was bleak, and it was still warm in the tent.

Gu Chenxi thought so, but just as he was about to turn around, he saw a black shadow dangling in front of him, and he subconsciously touched the crotch knife on his waist.

"Who!"

The black shadow didn't seem to be hostile, and slowly emerged from the night.

"Commander, it's me, the sixth son."

Gu Chenxi saw that the person who came was He Liu, so he stuffed back the steel knife that had been pulled out of the sheath, and said to him with a frown and displeasure: "People are scary, scared to death!" What are you running to this shore when you don't stay in your tent at night? ”

He Liu replied with a smile: "Lord Commander, isn't the sixth son waiting for you." ”

Gu Chenxi was puzzled, and said in her heart, what are you waiting for me to do? Then he asked him,

"Are you looking for me?"

"Can the Commander take a step to speak?"

Gu Chenxi looked at the mysterious look on his face, and pointed in the direction of the big tent in disbelief, "Let's go, go to my big tent and talk." ”

Unexpectedly, He Liuyi grabbed his armor and pouted towards the small forest on the shore, "My lord, there are many people in the camp, I have prepared everything for the adults over there, let's talk over there." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Gu Chenxi and went into the woods.

The forest on the shore is not big, there is a nunnery in the forest, the green walls and red tiles are still decent, it is because of the war in the northwest, these nuns here also no longer serve the Buddha, packed up and fled.

It seems that He Liu has been prepared for a long time, and a bonfire is lit in the small temple of this nunnery, and there are two wine gourds next to it.

He Liu brought Gu Chenxi into the hall, and then threw the thick earthy yellow futon to the ground, "My lord, please take a seat!" ”

Gu Chenxi glanced at the two wine gourds at a glance, he leaned down and sat on the futon, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took one of the wine gourds.

As soon as he started his hand, he didn't expect that the wine gourd was still warm, he opened the lid of the gourd and sniffed it with his nose, and suddenly a spicy and sobering breath came to his face, and he smelled it carefully, and there was still some grain fragrance in it.

He Liu sat opposite him and said with a smile: "These two gourds are the burning knives I specially prepared for the second uncle, your favorite, enjoy it slowly." ”

As he spoke, he handed another pot in front of Gu Chenxi.

Gu Chenxi looked at He Liu, who was smiling, with cold eyes, stuffed back the lid of the wine gourd in his hand, put it in front of him, and said suspiciously: "No merit, you talk about things first, I'm afraid that if I drink your pot of wine, I will put my life into it." ”

"Where did the second uncle say, the sixth son said directly, how long have you been in the position of the commander of this guard?"

Gu Chenxi thought for a while and replied, "The commander of the guard who was promoted in the thirty-third year of Chongzheng has been roughly calculated for seven years. ”

Then He Liu then asked, "Then I want to ask Second Uncle, how many more years do you plan to stay in the position of the commander of this guard?" ”

When Gu Chenxi heard what he said, his face drooped, and he looked a little displeased: "Are you laughing at me?" ”

He Liu didn't seem to realize his expression, and still continued to himself: "You have been working hard in this guard commander for seven or eight years, don't you think about the position of the guerrilla general? But the result? Why don't you let that comfortable ass sit on your head? Your veteran general, who has been in the army for more than ten years, asked this hairy boy from the regiment to point to his nose and scold, do you dare to have a word? Why don't you honestly run here into the wilderness to blow the night breeze? And what about his ease? I heard that the concubine he married in Chengdu came to him, maybe someone is nesting in the concubine's arms! ”

Gu Chenxi was already angry about An Yi's attitude towards his nose and not his nose and face last time, and he was even more annoyed by what He Liuyi said, he stood up and scolded He Liu: "Lao Tzu doesn't have time to listen to you say these here, if you are idle and have nothing to do, go and patrol Lao Tzu at night!" ”

With that, he turned and was about to step out of the door.

He Liu didn't hurry when he saw him getting up to leave, and said faintly towards his back: "If Master Gu walks out of this door today, he will be trampled under his feet for the rest of his life." ”

How could Gu Chenxi not think about turning over, who could be willing to stay up for seven or eight years and then parachute a top boss on his neck?

He turned around slowly, but his face still had the residual anger on his face, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Of course, He Liu knew that what he said just now said to the second uncle's heart, he raised his head and smiled at Gu Chenxi, stretched out his hand towards the futon opposite, and made a gesture of "please",

"Second uncle, listen to your nephew tell you slowly."

Gu Chenxi looked at He Liu, and sat back on the futon with an iron face.

"Second uncle, do you know why this is so?"

In fact, Gu Chenxi didn't understand the reason, but when he thought of this, his heart was jammed, he took the wine gourd in front of him and unscrewed the lid, poured it into his mouth tons and tons, and then wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not that you haven't heard of it, the relationship between Anyi and the daughter of the old Shu king, seeing that he is going to be the son-in-law of the king of Shu, what does Lao Tzu earn with him!" ”

"Smack!"

He Liuzhong slapped his hammer hand and praised: "Second uncle is transparent!" After all, isn't there no one up there? With the second uncle's ability, as long as someone can pull it up, let alone this guerrilla general, you can do it as a general soldier! ”

"What, you have a way?"

Gu Chenxi blurted out, but he thought about it, this He Liu is still a hundred households, what can a small hundred households know that is comparable to the king of Shu?

Then he said with some disdain: "I don't know which big man He Baihu knows, who can be bigger than the King of Shu?" ”

He Liu knew that he didn't believe himself when he heard his tone, so he got up and stepped forward, put up his palms and muttered a person's name in Gu Chenxi's ear,

Gu Chenxi's face immediately wiped a trace of surprise when he heard this person's name, but he quickly regained his composure, and doubted He Liudao: "The prince is a nobleman of Tianhuang, how did you know each other in a small hundred households?" ”

"Second uncle, do you remember the niece and daughter of He Ji's family?"

Gu Chenxi frowned and thought about it carefully, "I remember, it's the one we saw in Chengdu before who was surnamed Liu?" ”

"The second uncle is confused, and his surname is Liu."

"Yes, yes, that Liu, I heard that she later married the son of a noble family and became a concubine, and then Cousin He Ji and his family moved to Wang Jingli."

He Liu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled mysteriously at him, and asked, "More than ten years have passed, and He Ji's niece's daughter has also had children, does the second uncle know where her niece's daughter is now?" ”

Gu Chenxi shook his head, where did he know where to go, a relative who couldn't be beaten by eight poles.

"Her woman is the most favored concubine in the prince's family!"

Gu Chenxi thought about it carefully before she suddenly said: "No wonder, I said how can you know this kind of person, it turns out that He Ji has something to do with the prince." ”

After he finished speaking, he was a little disapproving: "So what, even if they are all princes and juniors of the King of Shu, can he still reach this Sichuan?" And he knows He Ji, not me Gu Chenxi, if he wants to be developed, he is also He Ji developed, what does it have to do with me! ”

"He Ji is old, timid and afraid, the prince has long been unaccustomed to him, and he has sent his close attendants to me many times to ask me to find you, naming you and wanting you to help him do things!"

He Liu tried his best to lower his voice and said to him: "Second uncle, how do you know that today's king is not tomorrow's emperor?" We're all suffering from the bottom haha, if we don't rush to get on the ship now, and when the flag is unfurled, then can we still get our turn? ”

Gu Chenxi couldn't help but be a little moved when she heard this, and asked He Liu in disbelief: "Then what does the prince need me to do?" ”

He Liu leaned into his ear again, whispering in a stumbling voice,

But this time, Gu Chenxi was not surprised after hearing this, he was simply frightened, he looked at He Liu with wide eyes, "This, this, this........ It's a foreign country here, and you're going to lose your head if you don't know it! ”

"Second uncle!"

He Liuyi pulled Gu Chenxi's sleeve, and his anxious expression was overflowing,

"My second uncle! Haven't you done enough in the past seven or eight years as a guard commander? Do you want others to dictate to you for the rest of your life? Wealth and danger are sought! When will this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity get our turn? Now the opportunity is in front of you, if you don't want to do it, then you deserve to live in the health center in Chengdu for the rest of your life! ”

Although Gu Chenxi was trying his best to keep his composure, his pale lips really couldn't help trembling, he raised his sleeve robe and stained it with strands of cold sweat on his head, now he felt like a scale, the left side of the scale was the pouring wealth, and the right side of the scale was the abyss from which it could never be recovered.

He Liu saw that Gu Chenxi was still hesitant and didn't dare to make up his mind, so he added fuel and vinegar and said: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, you and my uncle and nephew will both be ministers of the dragon, and it will not be difficult to open the door and establish a mansion in that king's capital!" It's better than what we are doing now, once there is something in the northwest, the first one will transfer us out of Sichuan, the sword has no eyes on this battlefield, maybe one day it will be a life, rather than die like this, it is better to fight with this life, and if you win, it will be a lifetime of wealth and glory! ”

Gu Chenxi obviously felt that the gold and silver wealth on the left side of the scale in his heart were like naked and charming women, stretching out their lotus arms and slender hands, and using a huge force that did not match Miaoman's posture, he pulled him there little by little, no matter how terrifying the abyss on the right side of the scale was, it had become a matter of the back of his mind, and he turned a blind eye.

"That'....... What should He Ji do over there? ”

When He Liu saw him ask like this, he knew that he had already agreed a little in his heart, and hurriedly relieved: "Second uncle, don't worry, I have already hooked up with the people sent by the palace, I will take care of He Ji's affairs, you just need to do what you should do as usual, and I will tell you when there is a letter from the palace." ”

After speaking, he picked up the wine gourd, unscrewed the lid and touched the gourd in Gu Chenxi's hand, and said with a smile: "Second uncle!" At that time, we will no longer have to suffer this foreign sin, we will have as much silver as we want, as many women as we want, and live that fairy-like happy life! ”

Gu Chenxi gritted her teeth and poured all the burning knives of the gourd into her mouth, as if she was emboldening herself.

"You're right! Wealth and danger are sought! Damn, I've had enough of looking at other people's faces! ”

After pouring a drop of the burning knife into his mouth, he threw away the empty wine gourd, stood up and said, "Okay! This time has not been short, I am afraid that in case there is something in the camp and others will not find me, I will go back first, and tell me if there is a letter in the palace. ”

"Good! The second uncle will go first, and I will go out later, so as not to let anyone with a heart see it and increase suspicion. ”

Gu Chenxi nodded at him, then hurriedly walked towards the camp in two steps and three steps, He Liu behind him looked at his back, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.......
