Chapter 128: The Weight of Supper
readx;
Out of the He Fu camp, Shen Ruoyu asked the third brother to arrange Li Rang's sister alone in one place, and clearly told him that this was for the exchange of hostages, and asked him to protect and take care of him carefully, not allow anyone to approach, and behead him if he violated the order. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, he gathered all the women in the army, and ordered Zhong Kexi to escort them out of the camp, send them to the nearest Dongchang City, and hand them over to the Dongchang Mansion to dispose of, but not to send them to the army again, so these camp prostitutes were sent away. The army reacted calmly for the time being.
The third brother, Zhong Kexi, was instructed by Shen Ruoyu to take turns guarding outside Li Rang's sister's tent. That night, Zhong Kexi was on guard. In the middle of the night, Shen Ruoyu woke up the third brother, saying that he was hungry, and asked him to wake up Gu Shenyu to make a supper and send it over.
The third brother was in a daze, muttering, "You're crazy, it's the middle of the night, why don't you go to him yourself?" What if he wants to be angry with me and disturb his good dreams, and kill me with a sword? You hide yourself, you want to eat, but let someone else beat you up? ”
"Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll have someone beat you with fifty sticks. ”
The third brother got up and scolded and scolded. "All I have to do is call; I'm not going to wait for him there, I'll come back to sleep anyway. Let him give you the food by himself, if he doesn't send it, you have the ability to trouble him yourself, don't bother me again. ”
"Sleep on your head. I'll kick you up and get you back to sleep. ”
The third brother was angry: "Grandpa Shen, I'm still on the night shift tomorrow, so I mean to have a good night's sleep tonight, and I have to serve you in the middle of the night?" Even if you're a general, you can't be so aggressive. I'm going to sleep outside the, not under your roof, look at your face. ”
Shen Ruoyu answered him, smiling secretly in his heart.
The third brother woke up Gu Shenyu, and after conveying Shen Ruoyao's password, he really found another place to sleep with the bedding. Gu Shenyu was very neat, and it didn't take long for him to bring a bowl of noodles into Shen Ruoyu's tent.
"I knew that General Shen would definitely be hungry when he went out for a walk."
Shen Ruoyu was really hungry. He took the supper, and in the blink of an eye, half a bowl of noodles had gone down. He raised his head, and for the first time, smiled at Gu Shenyu sincerely.
"You're really good at it."
Gu Shenyu bowed slightly and said, "That's the general is hungry, and it's just pearl jade and white jade soup." ”
After Shen Ruoyu finished eating the noodles and put down the bowl, Gu Shenyu brought a hand towel, which was very familiar and respectful, but not humble or arrogant, which was very different from the third brother and Zhong Kexi. Shen Ruoxiao was slightly stunned.
"Did you often do this in the Valley King's Mansion before?"
"When I was still in the theater troupe, I had to wait for the head of the troupe every day, and I was used to it. When General Shen was a shopkeeper in the past, he thought he would often do this. ”
Shen Ruoyu smiled lightly: "I didn't do as well as you." I'm not in the right frame of mind. ”
"The general didn't call me late at night, not just for supper. The general had orders, and Lan Zhengjun listened attentively. ”
Shen Ruoyu was silent for a moment.
"Commander Lan, I took great pains to transfer you out of the Jinyi Guard and bring you to the battlefield, not so that you could raise the flag for me, nor to give you a chance. I am so that the Son of Heaven can be free from your influence, and at the same time I can control you in my hands. ”
Gu Shenyu was respectful and calm, and did not change at all: "I understood it from the beginning. ”
Shen Ruoyu said: "It's just that my control is not yet at home." Didn't Commander Lan often send secret letters to the capital to report my words and deeds to the Son of Heaven? If I really have any objections, I will kill you early to prevent future troubles. ”
Gu Shenyu was finally slightly taken aback at this time. He was not flustered and replied:
"Humble duty and do what is commanded."
Shen Ruoyu said: "The Son of Heaven asks you to send letters often to relieve your feelings of longing; As for the secret report to me, it is not the intention of the Holy One. Commander Lan doesn't have to hide it from me, I know the Son of Heaven as well as you. ”
Gu Shenyu said: "General Shen's heart is as clear as water, so why worry about writing secret letters? ”
Shen Ruoyu said: "To be convicted by the Son of Heaven, you don't need to really break the law. Did Commander Lan forget Ling Zun? I'm thinking that sooner or later, you'll get your wish and tie me up in Jinyiwei Prison. ”
Gu Shenyu said: "If there is a day, Lan will not break his word, and he will be the prisoner general in the single room where Wang Ning lives in the concubine." ”
"And then the big punishment?"
Gu Shenyu said: "What Lan can promise is only in the room." As for the other treatments, it depends on what the general is guilty of and what the holy will is. ”
Shen Ruoyu said: "Today, I sent Your Excellency to the envoy to King Yan to write a book, I don't know if you are willing to go?" ”
Gu Shenyu was slightly stunned. "Is that true?"
Shen Ruoyu picked up a letter that had been sealed.
"Our army currently has the sister-in-law of King Yan, Yongping Yibin and Li Rang, in custody; The imperial court did not have Li Rang's whole family, and the clan was punished, and his sister was sent here to comfort the army. In the Yan army, there are also mothers who are military hostages. I revised this book and proposed to exchange hostages with King Yan. Right now, a confidant is needed to go to Yanying to write a book. Yan Ying is a tiger's den and a wolf's lair, and with Yan King's gnashing teeth and me, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not harm the messenger. Therefore, this person must be strong in martial arts, courageous, and resourceful in order to be foolproof. ”
Gu Shenyu took the letter and said, "I am not the general's henchman. Can General Ann trust me? ”
Shen Ruoyu said: "You and I are already jealous of each other; I sent you to the Yan camp, not necessarily because I didn't want to kill you by the hand of the Yan King. ”
Gu Shenyu smiled and said: "The general must be suffering from the fact that there is no one available, so he has to use Lan as a last resort." ”
Shen Ruoyu said: "200,000 people are here, although your Excellency's martial arts are world-renowned, but you know that there is no one here who is brave and resourceful and superior to the monarch?" I sent you for another reason. ”
He pulled out another letter. "This letter, please send it to Texas by Commander Lan, and be sure to hand it over to the general. Commander Lan, please go to Texas first, and then go to Yanying. After the letter is delivered to the general, you can stop in Texas for a while to see if the general has replied to the letter and whether there is any situation in Texas, and at the same time listen to the movements of the Yan army, and then go to the Yan camp. ”
Gu Shenyu took the letter and said, "The reason the general said, I understand it. ”
"There are five more letters here." Shen Ruoyu took out five sealed envelopes and put them on the table. "Please Commander Lan take a hard journey and hand it over to the five generals who defend the city, including Guanxian, Xinxian, Dong'e, Chiping, and Gaotang. It's an urgent matter, and Commander Lan must deliver them all within two days. Just send it, no need to wait for a reply. ”
"It's so urgent, why don't you send five people to deliver it at the same time?"
Shen Ruoyu said: "Commander Lan just said that you already understand the reason?" ”
Gu Shenyu carefully packed the five letter boxes on the case. Lan understood. The general is relieved. ”
"Your Excellency will leave tomorrow morning, please go to Guanxian first, and finally go to Gaotang, then from Gaotang to Dezhou, and then from Dezhou to Yanying. This road is absolutely secret to the enemy and me, and we must not let the Yan army and the cavalry discover you, nor let our army and cavalry discover you. ”
Gu Shenyu smiled and said, "The general sent me to do things first, and after finishing the work, he sent me to Yanying to get rid of me." ”
Shen Ruoyu said: "So, I asked you at the beginning, are you willing to go to Yanying to deliver the letter." The success of this trip, in the final analysis, depends on whether Commander Lan is willing to go to Yanying. ”
Gu Shenyu said: "What if I can come back alive?" Is General Shen willing to ask for credit for me? ”
Shen Ruoyu said: "Whether this battle is won or lost, and what your future is, I can't give you any guarantee, even if you give it, you don't believe it." The military situation is critical, the war is coming, and the survival of the 200,000 army is determined by a few people. Every letter is a matter of importance, and the slightest rumor must not be leaked. If Commander Lan has the heart to avenge his father, make military merits, and pity the 200,000 living beings here, please act according to the order; If you want to put Shen Ruoyu in a place where there is no return and be punished with a thousand knives, then this is the best time, whether your Excellency defects to the King of Yan, discards the letter, or flees back to the capital, you don't need to tell me. ”
Gu Shenyu pondered for a moment and said, "Even so, the humble position will not give the general any guarantee." How Lan acted will not be known in the future. This is the resignation of the lowly position. ”
He gave a military salute, then turned and walked out of the tent.
Shen Ruoyu watched him go out, sat for a long time, and looked at the light of the oil lamp. Then, remembering something, he leaned over and pulled out his boot knife, played with the light for a moment, and sighed deeply.
Brother Luo Yang, I don't know what is going on now.
