The official road is straight, and the wildflowers on both sides are blooming with life. The laborers in the fields worked hard, and from time to time the laughter of naughty children came from the woods. It's just that Gu Xin's mood at this time is like this sultry weather, which disturbs people's hearts.

This trip to Guzhou is more auspicious and less auspicious, can these two letters really save my mother? Touching the dagger in his arms, Gu Xin secretly made up his mind that he had no choice but to die together, and also removed the trouble for the adults.

"Young Master." Gu Yin poked his head out of the carriage, looked up at the sun, wiped away his sweat, and said, "It's hot, you can also go into the car and rest for a while." ”

Gu Xin stopped his thoughts, chuckled, and replied, "Don't get in the way, you can rest, you will be in Guzhou soon." ”

Gu Yin looked at Gu Xin riding on a horse, his petite body had now become extremely burly, and his skin had been tanned a lot by the wind and sun. sighed and said, "Young Master, can you really save Madame?" ”

Gu Xin smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, it will." Gu Xin didn't know what would happen, he only knew that he wouldn't leave if he couldn't save his mother.

In Guzhou, in the living room of the palace, the third prince Zhang Zong sat on the top seat, and Marshal Feng Qianshan sat at the bottom, and the two looked at each other with big eyes.

"Say, what do they mean?" The third prince, Zhang Zong, slapped the table and shouted.

"The Lord is angry, maybe when the two princes come in person, they will bring troops to come." Feng Qianshan saw that he was angry, and hurriedly comforted.

"Humph! The fourth sent 50,000 troops. The fifth is good, and only 20,000 troops are dispatched. Do you only want me to be confronted by the soldiers of Guzhou? Zhang Zong was indeed angry, he was defeated twice in a row, and his troops were less than 100,000. Now that the soldiers sent by the two states are not as large as their own, how can they not be annoyed.

"Lord, the letter from the four princes once said that the troops wanted to attack behind the enemy by water. It's just that I don't know why the five princes only sent 20,000 soldiers. Feng Qianshan rolled his eyes and said in thought.

After hearing this, Zhang Zong also pondered and said, "Could it be that the city of Guzhou is broken, and he can be safe?" ”

"I don't dare to guess this general, but now that the strength is not as good as the main beam, it is the best policy for our army to hold out." Feng Qianshan tapped his fingers on the table and said.

"That's the only way, stick to the city first, and then they will come in a few days to discuss." Zhang Zong looked at Feng Qianshan and said helplessly.

Li Heyuan's injuries have improved a bit, and he can already get out of bed and walk around. Feng Qianshan instructed himself to take Gu Xin's mother to Guzhou to lure Gu Xin to come. Although he felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't dare to offend Feng Qianshan, and he was afraid that Gu Xin would eventually find him, so he had to act according to the plan, and just wait for Gu Xin to come and get rid of the trouble.

"General, someone outside the mansion claims to be Gu Xin and asks to see the general." The soldier ran in and clenched his fists.

"He's coming." Li Heyuan muttered, and then asked, "How many people?" ”

"Back to my lord, there is only him and an old servant dressed as a person." The soldier replied.

Li Heyuan smiled secretly and ordered: "Bring him in, go and summon fifty more soldiers, and listen to my instructions later to get rid of this person." ”

Gu Xin walked in behind the soldiers, and when he saw Li Heyuan sitting on the chair, he immediately felt that he was angry, and his blood was unsettled, and he wanted to take out a dagger and kill him immediately. Thinking that he hadn't seen his mother yet, he endured it.

"Haha, General Gu, I haven't seen you for many days, but your demeanor is still the same." Li He saw Gu Xin come in, and got up to greet him with a smile.

"Thank you General Li for your concern, Gu is still healthy." Gu Xin snorted coldly, glanced at it and looked elsewhere.

"Hehe, General Gu, the marshal intends to recruit you back, and I hope you ......" Before Li Heyuan finished speaking, Gu Xin put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Everything will be discussed after I have met my mother." ”

Li Heyuan paused, a little embarrassed, and said, "Okay, okay." In this case, General Gu will go to visit the old lady first, and I will wait for you here. He waved his hand and said to the soldiers: "Take General Gu to see the old lady, so that you can protect it." ”

Gu Xin didn't want to say more to him, so he raised his leg and walked out the door. Suddenly remembering the letter brought by the voyage, he stopped and took it out of his bosom.

"My Overseer has ordered me to bring you a letter." After speaking, he threw the letter on the table and turned away, deliberately saying that the adults of my family said in a very serious tone, that is, to inform Li Heyuan that Hugh would persuade me again.

After Li Heyuan waited for Gu Xin to leave, he picked up a letter from the table, and when he saw that it was actually his daughter, he was immediately excited, and his hand holding the letter trembled.

After watching it, I knew that my daughter was fine, and my heart that had been hanging for a few days finally let go. Looking at Ye Yuanhang's letter again, his face couldn't help but become ugly. He actually used his daughter to blackmail himself to send Gu Xin's mother and son back, and if he didn't allow it, he would suddenly send him to the Qinglou. Suddenly he ran out of ideas and sat down in his chair dumbfounded.

Pushing open the door, Gu Xin saw his mother sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a flower drum in her hand and stroking it. Gu Xin's throat tightened, and he choked and threw himself on the bed and knelt on the ground.

"Mother, Xin'er is not filial, and you have suffered." Gu Xin hugged his mother's leg and cried.

"Xin'er, are you here? Let my mother take a look. Gu's mother knelt down when she saw a figure rushing over, and hurriedly pulled it up to take a closer look.

Gu Xin raised his head crying and said, "Mother, it's a child." It's the child coming. ”

Gu's mother saw that it was really her son Gu Xin, and she burst into tears for a while, and she also cried out loud, and hugged Gu Xin in her arms. cried: "Son, my mother wants to kill you." ”

Gu Xin also hugged his mother and cried bitterly, and after a while, Gu's mother recovered first, reached out to wipe away the tears on Gu Xin's face, and said lovingly: "Son, you have been alone all these years, how are you doing?" ”

"Well, it's all good. I just think about my mother, but I can't go back to see you. Gu Xin also reached out to wipe away her tears for her mother. Seeing that there were a few more wrinkles on my mother's face and a lot of gray hair on her head, I remembered the handsome appearance of my mother when I was young, and I was tired for myself.

"Silly boy, you have suffered a lot, how can your mother not know. Get up, mother, take a look at you. Gu's mother pulled Gu Xin up and looked at it, laughed, and said, "My son is strong and strong. ”

In front of his mother, Gu Xin had long lost his true character as a general, and smiled shyly. Gu's mother touched his face with pity, and said indifferently: "I look more and more like your father." ”

Gu Xin lowered his head gloomily when he saw his mother mention his father. remembered that his father was brave and good at fighting, and was once called an invincible general by the emperor. But he has changed hands several times, and now he is only a partial general, and he can't help but be ashamed.

"Mother, son is not as good as father, and he has lost face for the family." Gu Xin said guiltily.

"How come, my son's courage is better than his father's, and no one knows my son's prestige." Gu's mother said proudly, showing her face with her pride in her son.

"Mother, now that I have returned to Daliang, Li Heyuan deceived you this time to blackmail me into returning to Xiaoliang, or to remove me." Gu Xin told Gu's mother the truth.

Gu's mother only changed color slightly, and then returned to normal. Disapplauded, he said: "My son is a general, how can he be swayed by others." ”

Gu Xin helped his mother sit on the edge of the bed, knelt down and kowtowed to his mother three times. said: "Doesn't the mother blame the child for being unfilial? ”

Gu's mother sat on the bed and said with a smile: "The family is small, and the country is big." It is difficult to be a person without filial piety, and it is ashamed of disloyalty to God. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and you should think twice when you encounter something. When my son came to see me, he has done his filial duty, and the rest of the things should be loyal to the country. ”

Gu Xin had tears in his eyes after hearing this, and looked at Gu's mother. Gu's mother said: "Son, your father once said that if you let the tears fall in your belly, you will not regret the blood spilling on the killing field. The boy of the Gu family, how can he cry easily. ”

"Yes, mother." Gu Xin stretched out his hands and wiped away his tears violently, with a sharp light in his eyes.

"Go, my son, do what you have to do, and my mother will be waiting for you here." Gu's mother looked at her child affectionately, and although she was reluctant, she said very firmly.

"Mother, take care, the child is gone." Gu Xin kowtowed three more times, moved forward on his knees a few times, and put his head into his mother's arms.

Gu's mother held back her tears and patted Gu Xin's head. Gu Xin got up and glanced at Gu's mother, then turned his head and walked out. When Gu's mother saw her son go out of the room, her tears finally couldn't hold back and fell silently.

Li Heyuan let out a long breath, put the pen on the table, picked up the letter paper and read it again, folded it and put it in the envelope.

"General, Gu Xin asks to see you." The soldier came in and said.

"Yes, please." Li Heyuan came out of the inner room with the letter. Seeing Gu Xin, he handed the letter directly without waiting for him to speak.

"General Gu, please hand over this letter to your family overseer, now that Marshal Feng is not in the mansion, you quickly go and pick up the old mother, and I will order someone to send you out of the city." Gu Xin was ready, beyond life and death, he came in to find an opportunity to stab Li Heyuan to death. Unexpectedly, Li Heyuan bluntly said that he was going to let his mother and son go, and he was stunned on the spot for a while.

"General Gu, please leave as soon as possible, if Marshal Feng comes back, it will be difficult to get out." Li Heyuan seemed to be more anxious than Gu Xin, and urged repeatedly.

"Oh." Gu Xin reacted, turned around and walked towards his mother's room. Gu's mother waited for Gu Xin to leave, so she got up and found a thin rope in the house, wanting to die and avoid Gu Xin's worries. Before he could cast on the beam, Gu Xin ran in.

"Mother, hurry up and pack the package, let's go back to Guyu." Gu Xin happily ran in and shouted. Suddenly, she saw Gu's mother holding a hemp rope in her hand, hurriedly stepped forward and held it in her hand, changed color and asked, "Mother, why is this?" ”

"My son serves the country with his body, how can my mother live alone." Gu's mother held Gu Xin's hand and looked at him with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Gu Xin's nose was sour, and he said eagerly: "Mother, don't think about it, General Li has promised to send us out of the city, mother, hurry up." ”

Gu Mu nodded again and again after a slight hesitation, turned around and took only a small package, and said, "It's all outside the body, that's all." ”

Li Heyuan had already prepared a carriage outside the mansion, and when he saw Gu's mother coming out, he personally sent the carriage to Gu Xin, and said: "In the past, Li Mou offended the general, and I hope the general will forgive." I have ordered people to wait for the general at the city gate, and I hope that the general will return to Guyu as soon as possible. ”

Gu Xin had always been confused, and he didn't know why Li Heyuan was so respectful to him, and vaguely felt that it must be because of the adult's letter. Although there was hatred, it was just that the adults told themselves not to be rude, so they had to return the salute and said, "Thank you, General Li." ”

"General Gu is leaving, and I hope to see Lord Overseer say a few kind words for me." Li Heyuan said with a smile.

Gu Xin didn't bother to say much to him, so he took care of the carriage and rushed to the city gate.
