Chapter 271: Half-Father
Duan, who was wring a towel for her, suddenly laughed, handed the hot towel to Gu Banqin, asked her to wipe her hands, tapped Gu Banqin's forehead with her fingers, and said:
"You, if only you didn't get me into trouble. Let me tell you, after you go to Chu State, give me a vigilance, follow me at any time, don't be alone, you don't pay attention to other people talking to you. Do you hear that? ”
This is the first time that the Duan clan has talked to Gu Banqin about the Chu State, Gu Banqin nodded obediently, and asked:
"Mother, what kind of person are you? Why are they so afraid of you? And that Chu Xiaocheng ......"
Duan looked at Gu Banqin in surprise: "Do you know who he is?" ”
Gu Banqin nodded: "I know." Last time, an envoy visited Daqi, and Chu went to Dingyuan to wait for Luo Bi, this Chu Xiaocheng pretended to be a guard behind him, and was discovered by Helian Hongyi, and it seemed that when he left, he was injured. Helian Hongyi did it. ”
This incident happened when Duan was imprisoned by Helian Hongyi, so Duan didn't know, and now it was strange to hear Gu Banqin mention it: "What is he pretending to be a guard for?" ”
"I don't know. Helian Hongyi didn't tell me either. ”
Duan's eyes drooped slightly, as if he was thinking about something, Gu Banqin looked at her like this, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she high-fived and said:
"Ahh He wouldn't be there for ...... You? ”
Gu Banqin told the mystery that Duan was thinking in his mind, Duan was startled, looked up at her, and then quickly recovered, lowered his head and continued to do what he was doing, Gu Banqin saw her like this, and couldn't help but ask again:
"Mother, you and him...... What relationship? It won't be ......"
Duan picked up a piece of pastry from the table and threw it into Gu Banqin's hand, and gave her a blank look: "Eat your things, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”
Gu Banqin took a bite of the pastry, but she still felt that it was wrong, and protested: "No, mother, how can this not be asked, I want to know what the relationship between him and you is, so as to decide what attitude I will use towards him in the future." ”
Duan slapped the things in his hand on the table: "Try to talk more, don't think that I don't dare to hit you now." ”
Gu Banqin shrank back, and said sharply without fear of death:
"If you don't say it, I can guess that he looks at you every day, as if no one can see it. Isn't it a son! ”
Duan stepped forward to cover Gu Banqin's mouth, looked out of the carriage nervously, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he let go of Gu Banqin, and said in a low voice:
"If you are going to the State of Chu and are still so open-mouthed, be careful that I tear your mouth."
Gu Banqin's eyes rolled, and he also understood what Duan's meant, no wonder Chu Xiaocheng was so enthusiastic about Duan's, his eyes were sticky wherever he went.
But Duan's was always indifferent to him, and even had a very bad attitude, but now that he thinks about it, Gu Banqin understands.
Chu Xiaocheng is the prince, his background must have an official origin in the royal family, maybe Chu Yanzhang also found him a mother, and the Duan family is now being found back, in fact, his identity is quite embarrassing.
Chu Yanzhang definitely has no place for her by his side, for so many years, even if a man has memories of you and wants to find you back to review the past, he will remember you in his memory.
"Mother, thinking about it this way, in fact, Chu Xiaocheng is quite pitiful, he must know that his mother is you, so he sneaked into Chu State three times and twice to find you, and was almost confessed by Helian Hongyi in Daqi, you are too cold to him, he should be very sad."
Gu Banqin talked about things, but aroused Duan's helplessness: "I am good to him now, so that he will be more difficult in the future." Oh, you don't care about these things, since you have guessed it, then in the future, you will tighten my skin a little tighter, what to say and what not to say, weigh these yourself, do you hear? ”
Gu Banqin nodded and muttered in a low voice: "Mother, you go back to Chu Country one by one, in fact, you yourself really want to go back." I don't know if our journey is smooth or not, Helian Hongyi ......"
Speaking of Helian Hongyi, Gu Banqin's voice was dumb and he didn't want to say more.
In fact, she wanted to say, I don't know if Helian Hongyi will send someone to find her, if Helian Hongyi sends more soldiers to find her, maybe Gu Banqin will be able to see him again, and when the time comes, even if he beats him, is scolded by him, and is snubbed by him, Gu Banqin will feel a little better in her heart.
Although Gu Banqin didn't say the rest of the words, Duan could understand them all:
"Don't think about it, Helian Hongyi is the emperor, even if he liked you in the past, but that's just an emperor's liking for concubines, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and there are six palace fandais, don't you think it's strange that you have two eyes?"
"He can't like you, he likes you so much that he doesn't care about his life, you may become his memory, hidden in his heart forever, but he won't close himself for a little memory, and he won't be less because of you."
Gu Banqin looked at Duan's family, and seemed to be able to hear her heartfelt voice and past events from Duan's words about herself, and Duan's and Chu Yanzhang had a relationship.
may also have a good relationship, but after Duan's departure, for more than ten years, Chu Yanzhang has not looked for her, regardless of her life or death.
What Duan wants to tell her is this kind of imperial heart, when you love you, you love very much, but after you don't love you, there will be other women who are better than you to fill your place, and you will become less important.
Gu Banqin applied these to herself, thinking about what kind of experience it would be to see Helian Hongyi who was no longer hot and gentle to herself one day.
His hands subconsciously held on his stomach, only feeling that good and evil would be rewarded in the end, and the sky would spare anyone.
After she stabbed Helian Hongyi with a sword and completely cut off the relationship between the two, she found out that she was pregnant!
With a wail, Gu Banqin sank her body into the quilt, Duan was afraid that she would be stuffy, so she dug out her head, and Gu Banqin said a heartfelt word to Duan with those black bright eyes that could talk.
"Mother, do you think that I, as your oil bottle, will follow you to Chu State, will it affect your future?"
An eighteen-year-old oil bottle, Gu Banqin is also drunk when he thinks about it.
The top of her head was unexpectedly knocked by Duan's violent chestnut, Duan stared at her and talked nonsense, Gu Banqin rubbed her head, sank into the quilt again, and isolated herself, as if there was any wound to be licked silently, and she secretly looked forward to it in her heart:
Does Helian Hongyi really not want her?
After more than 20 days of traveling day and night, Gu Banqin and the others changed a total of more than a dozen teams, each time they changed into different identities, dozens of people, sometimes divided into many piles, with different identities, but they were closely connected and took care of each other.
All the way from Jiankang to Tongguan, although there were also checks on the road, but the more you go to the north, the fewer people are checked.
Gu Banqin would be pressed by the Duan family every time not to speak, because the Duan family really felt that after Gu Banqin did something like that to Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi could not treat Gu Banqin as well as before, so he wanted to bring Gu Banqin back to Chu State.
After the group left the customs, they went straight to Baijiang.
Halfway through the dense forest to rest, rest, drink water, eat or something, Chu Xiaocheng sent spies to explore the environment around the Baijiang River, and the large army rested here.
Gu Banqin rarely got out of the carriage to breathe, stretched his waist, and saw Chu Xiaocheng burning a fire by the river, and there seemed to be a pheasant roasting on the fire.
Gu Banqin stared at the golden light in the eyes of the mountain chicken, and trotted over, which startled Duan, who was pouring water by the river, and wanted to speak, but saw that Gu Banqin walked in front of the roast chicken and did not move, so he did not speak.
Chu Xiaocheng saw that Duan's family was so concerned about Gu Banqin, and his heart was quite uncomfortable, looking at Gu Banqin's shining gaze, he was angry, and said deliberately:
"Hmph, I thought Helian Hongyi was so good to you, but now it seems that it's not Er'er, there is Baijiang in front, do you know?"
Gu Banqin's eyes kept on the roast chicken, took the time to glance at Chu Xiaocheng, and said, "So what?" What do you want to say directly, everyone has walked all the way, they are all so familiar, what are you polite to me? ”
Chu Xiaocheng was very dissatisfied with Gu Banqin's self-familiar tone, glanced at Duan, who was still pouring water, and didn't pay attention to what they were talking about, deliberately walked up to Gu Banqin, and said in a very small voice:
"Then you're welcome to tell you. Helian Hongyi sent troops to blockade Baijiang for ten days, only ten days, his feelings for you, it seems that it is a matter of these ten days, if he can block it for a while longer, although he may not be able to catch us, but there will always be more opportunities. That's why I'm going to tell you politely, you may be an extremely ordinary person in the eyes of Helian Hongyi. ”
Gu Banqin swallowed her saliva, seemed to be immune to what Chu Xiaocheng said, reached out and scraped a little oil from the roast chicken and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes happily, Chu Xiaocheng saw Gu Banqin like this, and couldn't help but say anxiously:
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
Gu Banqin squatted, holding her knees with both hands, she was wearing a short beating of a folk woman, her face was painted black, but her eyes were bright and bright, so that people couldn't help but think of the stars in the sky.
I saw Gu Banqin greedily licking the fingers that remained fragrant, and nodded solemnly:
"I heard that, I think what you said is really good, I am a plaything to Helian Hongyi at best, do you want to say that about me? I'll tell you straight away, yes, that's it! ”
"That's why I'm cheeky enough to go to Chu State with you to make a living. I know that my identity is embarrassing, but I can't help it, who let my mother give birth to me as a drag oil bottle, you don't want to see me, you can only endure it, right? ”
Chu Xiaocheng was stunned by Gu Banqin's words, and only after a while did he react, and greeted with a full face: "Huh?" ”
Gu Banqin didn't care, pointed to the roast chicken, and smiled:
"When will this chicken be eaten? Do you want to rub salt? ”
Chu Xiaocheng: ......
Gu Banqin leaned in the carriage and listened to the men sent out by Chu Xiaocheng to inquire come back to report that the army of Daqi had blocked the Baijiang River for ten days and had evacuated a few days ago, and now the Baijiang River had begun to open to ships.
