Chapter 22: How can friendship be dispersed at once?
The next day, Gu An came to the gate of Yujiaguan with the envoy of Heqin.
But he saw a group of people waiting for him and others at the gate of the city.
He looked around, but found that the person at the front of the line was General Wang Ran Palace.
His heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly slapped his horse forward.
"General Wang, how dare you bother to greet you in person!" Gu An dismounted and saluted to Wang Ran's Palace.
"Well, you do look a lot like your father! I'm here to greet the princess, please follow me into the city! Wang Ran Gong glanced at Gu An, and was also very satisfied with his attitude, and then said to the princess's carriage.
"Thank you, General!" The carriage of the four princesses also came to him, and a word came from inside, which was the voice of the fourth princess.
"Chen Wang Ran Palace, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Wang Ran Palace brought a kind of general to welcome the four princesses to Yujiaguan.
"General, please get up!" The fourth princess flicked her hand and said to Wang Ran Palace, "The general stationed in Yujiaguan has worked hard and made great achievements, and Yang Ping has thanked the general for his father and emperor again!" β
"This is the duty of a courtier, how can you say that!" Wang Ran Palace looked humble and polite, and there was a lot less impetuousness.
Then Wang Ran Palace took the princess and others into Yu Jiaguan.
As for the army that came this time, they camped on the spot outside the city.
Gu An took twenty personal guards, and Zhao Chong and others also followed into the city.
Mu Wanqin naturally followed Gu An with Ruoyi.
This Yujiacheng is built on the mountain, although it is not as prosperous as Yongcheng, but it is also unique.
Because it is a pass close to the battlefield, there are not many people, most of them are from the army.
"Bo Yan, if this is not a city pass, but a quiet place!" It was the first time for Mu Wanqin to go far away, and she saw this Yu Jiaguan, although it was only a military place and there was no entertainment industry, but the environment was very good.
And the people here are simple-minded, lacking the kind of intrigue in Yongcheng, but it is also a different scenery.
"Well, that's true!" Gu An didn't expect that this young white brother would still have leisure and elegance and appreciate the environment here, but he didn't sweep Mu Shaobai's Yaxing either.
While they were talking, Wang Ran Gong had already led them to a manor.
"Princess, this is the place I have specially prepared for you, you can rest again for the time being!" Wang Ran Gong said to the four princesses.
"Well, the general has a heart!" The fourth princess looked at the surrounding environment and found that she had made a lot of preparations, and she also treated this general Wang differently.
It is said that this Wang Ran Palace is a rough person, but now it seems to be a rumor.
From here, it can be seen that he is a careful person, and he is also reasonable and modest.
After everything was arranged, Gu An asked the guards to guard the surroundings to protect the princess's safety. In addition, two of the generals were also asked to stay, just in case.
In fact, Gu An is just doing this too much. Because this is the territory of Wang Ran's Palace, how can he not arrange for someone to guard it!
But there is no big mistake in being careful, Gu An still did it!
It's not that he doesn't worry about Wang Ran Palace, but this is where his duty lies.
"Princess, take a break! When I came out this time, I didn't settle down and rest! It's rare to have such a nice place this time. Gu An said to the fourth princess with a smile.
"Well, I'm a little tired. It's okay, you guys go get busy, and rest for a while! "The fourth princess has been running outside with the mission team during this time, and there really isn't a decent place for her to rest, but the place prepared by Wang Ran Palace this time is good.
Gu An and the others withdrew, leaving the princess to rest.
When he got outside, Wang Ran Palace said to Gu An: "Bo Yan, you will go to my house with me later, I have something to say to you!" β
When Gu An heard him call himself like this, it must be a private matter, so he nodded in agreement.
"Good! Uncle, wait for me to arrange it. Gu An immediately took Mu Wanqin to find a room, and explained what he was going to General Wang's mansion to do, so that he could rest by himself.
"Bo Yan, you go! But don't make General Wang unhappy. Pay attention to proportions when speaking! Mu Wanqin didn't forget to tell him before he left.
"yes, I see!" Gu An nodded yes.
After that, he asked Gu Yan and Li Xu to stay behind to protect the safety of the manor, and he took Zhao Chong and Du Ze to the palace.
When they arrived at General Wang's mansion, Wang Ran Palace first nodded to Zhao Chong and Du Ze, they were all old acquaintances, and they were no strangers to each other.
"Lao Zhao, Lao Du, we haven't seen each other for ten years!" Wang Rangong said with some emotion, it turns out that there are not many brothers alive now.
"It's been ten years since General Wang left Yongcheng!" Zhao Chong was also a little sad, for Wang Rangong's choice, what he was willing to say more, it was all a last resort.
"Hey, my eldest brother is okay now!" Wang Rangong hesitated, and finally said it, although he had some conflicts with Gu Lun back then, but after so many years, he also understood that Gu Lun took care of him.
Now he has changed a lot, these are the habits he has slowly developed in the past ten years, and they are also the result of his listening to Gu Lun's words.
"All is well, General! It's just that he felt haunted by your departure from Yongcheng back then, but it was his heart that had been knotted for many years! Zhao Chong said here, and said with some resentment towards Wang Ran Palace.
"It's that I can't live up to my big brother! But I was young and frivolous, and I made some mistakes, but I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. It's just a shame to be on the eldest brotherβ" Wang Rangong said this, his tone a little choked.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place.
Maybe this matter is also a sad thing for Wang Ran Palace!
Gu An had been listening to their conversation silently beside him, and because of his young age, he didn't have any image of that incident at that time.
But I vaguely remember that it was because of a girl!
But after all this time, he couldn't remember clearly whether it was true or not.
"Bo Yan, you've grown up! It's very similar to your father, and your father was so heroic back then, but it's a pity that my sister-in-law went early and couldn't see you. When Wang Ran Palace saw Gu An, it was as if he saw the days when he was young with his eldest brother Gu Lun.
"Uncle, for so many years, my father has always remembered you! When I came this time, my father specially asked me to bring something with me. After speaking, Gu An took out something from himself, but it was a dagger. The word "Yanlin" is engraved on it.
"Big brother!" When Wang Rangong saw the dagger, his eyes were hazy with tears, and "Yanlin" was his word.
He took out a dagger from his arms, which was also engraved with the word "Wen Yuan", which was Gu Lun's character.
This is a token of his worship with Gu Lun.
Seeing this dagger at this moment, I can't help but think of the scene when I worshipped back then.
He felt very uncomfortable.
He is ashamed of his eldest brother's teaching, and his eldest brother has suffered for him for so many years.
"Bo Yan, your father, he-" Wang Rangong asked with some excitement, "Does he blame me for not listening to him back then!" β
"Uncle, my father has another word for me to bring to you!" Yesterday's brothers wished yesterday, how can friendship be overnight! He's still thinking about you and wants to catch up with you! Gu An said.
"Hey, I'm confused! Worthy of the kindness of the eldest brother. Wang Ran Gong said guiltily.
"Uncle doesn't need to do this, father didn't complain about you. He said that he had done something wrong about this. I hope you can forgive him! Gu An immediately comforted.
The two talked in detail for a long time, and after that, Wang Ran Palace talked about the issue of harmony this time.
"Bo Yan, what do you think of this kiss?" Wang Ran Gong deliberately instructed his nephew, so he asked him to come to his house to speak.
Before, he just wanted to mention it, but now he has the intention of teaching.
This is his eldest brother's only son, this time to go to Chu State and relatives, the danger is not small, he doesn't want to see Gu An have three strengths and two weaknesses, wouldn't that make the eldest brother sad.
"Uncle, for Heqin, my father also mentioned it to me. This time it was a temptation to drive a wedge between Chu and Yan. And I have a good friend who also gave me a more detailed analysis. Gu An said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm not surprised that the eldest brother pointed out to you, after all, he is the most familiar with His Majesty, and it is not surprising that he can guess this; But how did one of your friends see it? Wang Rangong asked with some surprise, "It seems that I haven't been in Yongcheng for a long time, but I don't know that there is such a character in Yongcheng, it's really rare!" β
"Uncle, this person's surname is Mu Mingqing, and his words are few and white! He was a man of great talent. This time, he came with me. Gu An then talked about the situation of Mu Wanqin's transformation into "Mu Shaobai".
"From this point of view, this Mu Shaobai is a talent! And the fact that he can come to help shows that this person is also a person who values love and righteousness. You should treat him well, and don't let him be in any danger! Wang Rangong is also happy for Gu An, having such a friend will be more beneficial to his future path.
"Well, I understand! We have fellowship of true affection. Gu An thought of the scene where he and Mu Shaobai met, it can be said that they were familiar at first sight, they can be regarded as bosom friends!
"Haha, that's good! Originally, I was worried about whether you would be able to complete the task this time, but it seems that I am worried! Since there is this Mu Shaobai with you, it is very possible to complete it! He is also very curious about this Mu Shaobai, this is a person who understands, can see the situation clearly, grasp the key, and is a wise person.
"In that case, then I won't say more! Remember, you have your father and me behind you, so don't worry about it! Wang Ran Gong finally added.
"Thank you uncle for taking care of you!" Gu An said gratefully.
Being able to resolve the grievances between Wang Ran Palace and his father this time is an unexpected gain, and being able to get Wang Ran Palace's support makes him even more overjoyed.
This time he went to Chu State, he had a lot of things to do, but he never had the opportunity, because there were not enough people and there were no suitable talents in this area.
Now it's finally ready to be implemented.
He told him about the plan he had discussed with Mu Wanqin before, and wanted to hear Wang Rangong's opinion.
"Well, your plan is pretty good! You can use the assassin of the Yan State as a breakthrough to create public opinion pressure and make the subjects of the Chu State dissatisfied with the Yan State! Wang Ran Palace listened to Gu An's plan, and also nodded in approval.
Immediately, he called his convincing Chen Gang and said to Chen Gang: "You go find a few secret agents, I have something to order." β
"No!" As soon as Chen Gang came in, he saw Wang Ran Palace and Gu An talking happily, and he was also stunned. However, he did not hesitate, and after hearing Wang Rangong's instructions, he hurried to find the secret agent.
"This person is my convincing, Chen Gang! I'll let him supervise it, and you just follow the plan! Wang Rangong said to Gu An again.
"Thank you, uncle!" Gu Anxin was overjoyed, and this time he had a greater grasp.
"Haha, don't see outside! It's all a family, and helping you is a little bit of my heart as an uncle! If you succeed this time, your uncle will be happy for you! Wang Rangong had a smile on his face, since he saw the dagger before, he seemed to have untied the knot in his heart, and he was in an extremely comfortable mood at the moment.
Chen Gang soon returned with a few people.
"General, these are the best security agents in our army." Chen Gang said to Wang Ran Palace.
"Okay, I have something for you to do, do you have faith?" Wang Rangong looked at a few people and asked solemnly, this matter is a major matter related to his nephew, and he can't tolerate a little sloppiness, so he takes it so seriously.
"General rest assured, we promise to complete the mission!" Several people replied in unison.
"Haha, well done! It is worthy of the soldiers I brought out, and there are no bad seeds. Wang Rangong looked at a few people happily and nodded secretly.
The performance of these people is very good, especially in front of his nephew, which makes him very face-saving and fulfilled.
Wang Ran Palace introduced Gu An's previous plan and asked them to go to the territory of Chu to publicize the information that the Heqin delegation was assassinated by the Yan State this time, and it should be emphasized that this assassination was to retaliate against the Chu State for betraying the Yan State.
A few people listened to some of the second monks who were confused, but they were all the most elite soldiers, and they knew that there were some things that they should not ask, so they just had to carry out the order.
"Chen Gang, you go and supervise this matter! Be sure to do your best. Wang Rangong finally said to his own convincing Chen Gang.
"Got it, General!" Although Chen Gang had a lot of doubts, he knew at this moment that it was not the time to ask, so he took the order and left.
"Bo Yan, do you think my arrangement is feasible?" Wang Ran Gong looked at Gu An and asked.
"That's a good arrangement, thank you, uncle!" Gu An also agrees with this, in this way, the people of Chu can have the possibility of hatred against Yan State, and this is where their opportunity lies.
Moreover, as long as they grasp a little, they Nantang will go with sincerity. For the sake of peace between the two countries, he formed an alliance with the Chu State and his relatives, and now the Yan State assassinated the He Qin Mission, isn't this a slap in the face of the Chu State.
This seed has been planted.
As for whether it can blossom and bear fruit, it depends on his Gu An's ability!
