Chapter 8: Protons
In the palace of the king of Beili, Gu Qiang slammed the holy decree of the Southern Jin Dynasty to the ground, pulled out the dagger, and nailed it to the ground with a knife, then got up, swept the table with both hands, and the things on the table were scattered all over the ground, he pulled the knife out of the scabbard hanging on the wall, and angrily slashed at everything in the hall.
Mrs. Zhuang Ji rushed to hear the news, countless palace people and ministers had already gathered outside the hall, and when they saw Zhuang Ji coming, they all silently gave way to the palace, and the hall was earth-shattering, as if the entire hall could overturn at any time.
She gently pushed open the door of the hall, entered, pulled the door shut with her negative hand, and it was a mess inside, Gu Qiang fell in despair in the "ruins", his face was bloodless, his face was like ashes, tears gushed out, and slipped down the corners of his eyes, thinking that he would fight all his life, and the pain of life and death had never shown fear in his eyes, and now he ......
Zhuang Ji walked over, slowly knelt on the ground, gently put Gu Qiang's head on his lap, Gu Qiang turned sideways, buried his whole face in Zhuang Ji's arms, Zhuang Ji leaned over, hugged him tightly, for a long time, silent.
"Nan Xiao wants me to hand over the city......" Gu Qiang's hand squeezed Zhuang Ji's arm tightly.
Zhuang Ji's eyes instantly moistened, stroked Gu Qiang's head, and said softly, "I know." ”
Gu Qiang suddenly pushed Zhuang Ji away and got up, "You go, take Cheng'er with you!" With that, he closed his eyes and tears fell.
"And then? Let him hide and hide for the rest of his life? Zhuang Ji roared angrily, "He can go, but the people in the city can't go, if they don't hand over the city, the people of Beili will die!" ”
"Zhuang Ji! That's your son too! Gu Qiang turned around, raised his hand to the outside of the hall, and looked at Mrs. Zhuang Ji heartbroken.
Zhuang Ji got up, threw himself into Gu Qiang's arms, and wrapped his hand around him, "But he is also the son of Beili!" Tears flowed silently.
Gu Qiang raised his hand and wanted to caress her, but he stopped in mid-air and clenched it into a fist, Nanjin! Deceive my people and insult my children! This life is immortal, in vain!
The thoughts of the two were interrupted by a gentle knock on the door, Zhuang Ji let go of Gu Qiang, turned her back and wiped the tears from her face.
"What?" Gu Qiang turned his head to look at the palace gate.
"Letter from the National Teacher." A maid whispered,
Zhuang Ji and Gu Qiang immediately went out of the hall, and Zhuang Ji waved his hand to everyone, "It's okay, let's all retreat." Then the crowd dispersed.
Gu Qiang took the letter from the maid's hand and unfolded it, only to see two lines drawn on it, one bright and one dark, "National Teacher...... What does this mean? Gu Qiang was puzzled.
Zhuang Ji took it, looked at it carefully, and after a while, said, "National teacher...... It's for us to repair the plank road and darken the warehouse! Zhuang Ji hurriedly returned to the temple, and found a golden brocade box on the messy ground, which she opened, and there was a letter inside, on which a circle was drawn, and a heart was written in it.
She put the letter together and brought it to Gu Qiang, "Wang, please look!" Zhuang Ji pointed to the first letter and said: "Six years ago, the national teacher told us to endure everything and wait for the opportunity to move, and now, the Southern Jin Dynasty asked me to recruit troops in Beili, and we can use this as an excuse to quietly cultivate a group of elites for Beili." ”
"Kecheng'er ......" Gu Qiang worried.
"Wang, the national teacher must have known about this, I believe that he will be able to protect the city well, and we can also take this opportunity to paralyze the Southern Jin Dynasty and let them relax their guard against my Beili." As soon as Zhuang Ji's words came out, Gu Qiang felt that it was very reasonable, and it also made his original heart feel a little more stable.
Gu Qiang's heart was horizontal, and he immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered to write a reply letter to the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty, expressing his willingness to send the prince to the Southern Jin Dynasty, just to treat him well. The wording is sincere, and every sentence between the words reveals Beili's loyalty and sincerity.
On the day Gu Beicheng left, the people of the city, officials of all sizes rushed to the door of the post station to see him off, Gu Qiang and Mrs. Zhuang Ji personally sent him to the carriage of the envoys of the Southern Jin Dynasty, I thought he would cry nonstop, but he was unexpectedly well-behaved.
Gu Beicheng boarded the carriage, knelt on the wheel and bowed to Gu Qiang and Zhuang Ji, a little black dog came out of nowhere, barked twice at Gu Beicheng, wagged his tail frantically, he glanced at the puppy, pointed and said, "Can I take it?" ”
The palace people immediately hugged the little black dog into Gu Beicheng's arms, and Mrs. Zhuang Ji endured her heartache and said with a smile: "Of course." He took out a silver hairpin from his sleeve, put it on for Gu Beicheng, and whispered in his ear: "Don't eat the hairpin." ”
After speaking, Gu Beicheng got into the carriage with the puppy in his arms, and everyone in Beili knelt down, crying one after another.
"O son!"
"Take care!"
……
The carriage moved, and Mrs. Zhuang Ji chased after the carriage and yelled: "Remember! You are the son of Beili! ”
Gu Beicheng lifted the curtain of the car window and poked his head out, looking at the back of the car for a long time, until everyone gradually faded out of his sight, he glanced at the guard next to him, and sat upright with the puppy in his arms, his face was unwavering.
"Go, pour a cup of tea for this official!" The envoy of the Southern Jin Dynasty said to Gu Beicheng.
Gu Beicheng hugged the puppy, staring at the tea set on the small table, he dignified the son of Northern Li Shizi and poured tea for the envoys of the Southern Jin Dynasty, this is a kind of humiliation, yes, the envoys just want to humiliate him.
The envoy saw that he was stunned and kicked him with his foot, "Are you deaf?" Makes you ......"
Gu Beicheng turned his head expressionlessly, staring directly at the envoy, he wanted to pull out the hairpin immediately, pounced over and slammed it into the envoy's throat, watching him die with blood splashing everywhere......
The envoy looked at Gu Beicheng's eyes, his gaze was like a cold cold pool, full of killing intent, goosebumps all over his body in an instant, and he swallowed back the words he didn't finish, he couldn't believe that this expression was actually a sixteen-year-old child, "You...... Why are you staring at this official? What do you want? The envoy reprimanded loudly, for some reason, the child in front of him at this moment made him panic inexplicably.
"My lord, what's wrong?" The guard asked.
Seeing that Gu Beicheng turned his head back, the envoy sat upright, pretending to be calm and said, "It's okay......" Then he glanced at him again, and whispered: "A little kid, you can still turn the sky upside down!" Then, with a scold, "Pour tea!" ”
Gu Beicheng suddenly remembered Yingge, stiffly squeezed out a smile, put down the puppy, reached out and held the teapot tightly, as if he would crush the teapot if he was not careful, he picked it up, slowly poured a cup of tea for the envoy, and gave it to him respectfully with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, please use tea." ”
"I'm a dignified Dali Temple, how can I drink the tea offered by a proton?" The envoy shook his sleeves and said arrogantly: "It's just a medium, and you also deserve to pour tea for the official!" ”
Gu Beicheng smiled and nodded, gently put the tea bowl on the small table, and then hugged the puppy to his lap again, and stroked it gently, so that the minister looked at Gu Beicheng with his spare eyes, and snorted coldly with disgust: "It's just a lost dog." ”
Gu Beicheng stroked the puppy's hand, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, his hand fell heavily on the puppy's back, and he swiped it one by one, he remembered that his mother said that every decision he made was related to the survival of Beili.
The road from Beili to the Southern Jin Dynasty is far away, the carriage is galloping all the way, the road is bumpy, the envoy leans on the rickety carriage, and falls asleep unconsciously, Gu Beicheng looked at him, and wanted to kill him in a dream countless times, and reminded himself countless times that he could not forget the death of Yingge.
When he arrived at the inn where he was resting, it was getting late, and when he heard the coachman say that the inn had arrived, Gu Beicheng kicked him hard, and the minister woke up, "What person?" ”
"Here we are." Gu Beicheng hugged the puppy and said lightly.
The envoy wiped his saliva, tidied up his clothes, and muttered in a daze: "So soon to the Southern Jin Dynasty?" "I was about to lift the curtains.
Gu Beicheng picked up the puppy and glanced at the envoy coldly, "Inn." ”
After a burst of neat and rapid footsteps, the guards had already stood in front of the inn in an orderly manner, and sat in a carriage all the way, making the minister's back ache, and he staggered down from the carriage and stretched his waist, Gu Beicheng held the puppy, got out of the carriage, just got down from the ladder, and before he could stand firmly, the envoy turned around and pushed his head forward, "Let's go!" Grind and grind! ”
Gu Beicheng fell forward all of a sudden, and the whole person lay on the ground, making the people around him laugh, and the commander stepped forward to help him up.
"Thank you" Gu Beicheng nodded to the commander, raised his hand and was patting the dust on his body, and the envoy rolled up his sleeves, "Good you rabbit cub!" Still grinding! See if I don't ......" As soon as he raised his hand and was about to hit Gu Beicheng, he was grabbed by the commander of the guards.
"Your Majesty has an order, ordering us to bring the prince to the Southern Jin Dynasty safely!" The commander gave up his hand, and the envoy withdrew his hand, then turned to Gu Beicheng, and spread his hand towards the inn, "Shizi, please!" ”
This is the junction of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Li, the original inn was the Northern Li, since the defeat, it was forcibly returned to the Southern Jin Dynasty, the boss saw that there were guests arrived, and quickly greeted him, and at a glance, it was an official of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the boss smiled and asked: "My lord, is this a sharp child or a hotel?" ”
The boss looked Gu Beicheng behind the envoy up and down, this child's jade crown brocade robe is already expensive, and the jade pendant on his waist is even more valuable, and then look at the outside of the store, there are heavy guards, this is not a small amount.
"Come to the two upper rooms." The envoy said.
The owner was even more welcoming, "Gotcha! Upstairs please! ”
The envoy arranged for Gu Beicheng to live with him, "Go, bring a basin of water for the official's feet." ”
"Yes!" Gu Beicheng gave up.
After a while, he brought a basin of water for the envoy and removed his shoes and socks for him, a peculiar smell hit, Gu Beicheng's eyebrows frowned, the envoy saw it, and kicked on his forehead, Gu Beicheng fell back to the ground, glared angrily, and regained peace with only one breath.
He got up casually, and while washing the feet of the envoy, he asked weakly: "I heard that the lord said before that you are the secretary of Dali Temple, I don't know what to call the adult?" ”
"Don is presumptuous, what? Want to seek revenge in the future? Just you? Do you have what it takes? The envoy kicked Gu Beicheng's head with his foot again and pushed him to the ground, "Lost dog!" "A few more kicks in a row.
Gu Beicheng fell to the ground, the tears rolling in his eyes were stunned by him, the little stool said, he is the son of Beili, don't cry!
Don presumptuous? Gu Beicheng firmly remembered this name, one day, he will definitely divide the body of the five horses surnamed Tang, Gu Beicheng tilted his head slightly, looked at Tang Maojin and smiled coldly.
