Chapter 235: The Abandoned Son
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Guitang and others were restless.
It had been several hours since Gu Jin and Huang Hao went up the mountain, but he could only wait for the news in the barracks, and his heart was even more anxious.
The night got thicker and thicker, but the soldiers who were sent by Chen Hu to explore the road did not come back for a long time, and Lu Guitang silently swore in his heart that he would never let Gu Jin take risks alone again.
The curtain was lifted, and Shang Guyuan walked in, bringing good news, "Leng Shan is back." ”
Hearing this, Lu Guitang turned around suddenly, looked at Shang Guyuan, and saw the faint smile on the man's face, his heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and he asked, "How is it?" ”
Shang Guyuan nodded, "I have already asked Chen Hu to order troops." ”
Lu Guitang set aside the old abyss of Shang, and without saying a word, he left the military tent and went to the battlefield to order troops.
In the middle of the day, the night was dark, and thousands of soldiers on the battlefield were ready to go......
Dingzhou is surrounded by mountains in the east, north and west, and the east mountain is Bianliang, and the north mountain is out of the country, and the west mountain is to the north of Xinjiang. Not only are the mountains rugged and difficult to walk, but the trees in the mountains are tall and the grass is dense, which is very conducive to Huang Hao and others to hide.
Huang Hao took Gu Jin all the way up the mountain, and when he saw that Lu Guitang really didn't catch up, he couldn't help but be a little curious about Gu Jin's identity, and heard Chen Hu call Gu Jin "Gu Xiaolang", presumably this person has no military rank, since he has no military rank, can he still be valued so much by King Xian?
For this matter, Huang Hao was puzzled, but for him, it was indeed a blessing for him to escape from Lu Guitang because of Gu Jin, Huang Hao knew that with Gu Jin as a bargaining chip, he could contain Lu Guitang, so he naturally would not let Gu Jin go back, and after returning to the cottage, he ordered his subordinates to lock Gu Jin in the firewood room.
The smell of dust eased Gu Jin for a long time, but at the same time, she also raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance here.
"General Huixiao."
The man sitting against the wall slowly raised his head when he heard the sound, revealing a different face, a cut on his cheek, and a deep wound that even though it had healed, it still made people feel hideous.
Hui Jinghe blinked, the cloudiness and exhaustion in his eyes matched with the stubble on his chin, and his hands and feet were tied with ropes, this appearance really made people believe that this person was actually Hui Jinghe, a high-spirited little general in Bianliang City.
Huijiang and were slightly stunned for a while, and then he realized that the person in front of him was Gu Jin.
"You?"
Gu Jin saw the confusion in his eyes, and he was not in a hurry to answer why he appeared here, he only paced two steps and found a clean place to sit, the mountain road was rugged, and she was really tired of walking.
"Today I also talked to Huang Hao about the word unloading and killing donkeys, I don't want to use it for Huang Hao, but for you, General Huixiao."
Hui Jinghe's expression darkened, obviously he had already thought about what Gu Jin said, but he was still unwilling to face the reality, and he still had hope for Ning Guogong.
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows, interrupting his thoughts: "Do you know that since you were kidnapped by Huang Hao, Dingzhou City has returned to its former tranquility, His Royal Highness has returned to military power, the morale of the army is high, and no one in Bianjing City has come, so they will abandon this place and you together." ”
Hui Jinghe had a "boom" in his head, remembering what had happened in the past few days, after Huang Hao captured him, he and a group of mountain bandits teased him in every way, and scratched his face. He rushed to Dingzhou for Ning Guogong and King Shu, but now he is suffering alone in the bandits' den on the Dingzhou Mountain, and he has not heard any news for many days.
"You talk nonsense!"
Gu Jin smiled lightly, didn't look at him, and only said: "Am I talking nonsense, General Hui Xiao just waits to watch the show." ”
Hui Jinghe didn't have much contact with Gu Jin, and he didn't know that this woman had a cold temperament, but now that he saw Gu Jin's calm face, his heart was gray twice.
Dingzhou has been plagued by bandits for many years, and there is no way to even be a saint, and now Lu Chengxiu has just sat in the position of prisoner, and the partisan dispute between Lu Guitang and the court is enough to make him and Ning Guogong have no skills, where will there be energy to deal with this scattered sand in Dingzhou? Now it seems that not only Dingzhou, but even northern Xinjiang has been abandoned by Lu Chengxiu.
Chess pieces are very easy to become outcasts, what is his current situation, Hui Jinghe knows better than anyone else.
Ning Guogong sent him to Dingzhou to capture Lu Guitang and Li Changping, but he was in a hurry to invite credit, and listened to Gu Jin's words and let Lu Guitang leave.
The words "unloading the mill and killing the donkey" are very suitable for him.
All kinds of things flashed in his mind, and Hui Jinghe came with a wry smile, he no longer mentioned the matter of Ning Guogong, but asked Gu Jin again: "How could Miss Gu be caught by Huang Hao and dress like this." ”
Gu Jin looked at him slightly, and saw that Hui Jinghe had faded away from his original immaturity in an instant, and his words were calm, as if he had seen through the world.
Gu Jin's heart moved slightly, let's put down Li Changping's death, or the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Hui Jinghe always has some conscience compared to Huang Luxury.
"One or two sentences can't be said clearly, if General Hui Xiao is idle, guess it."
Gu Jin leaned his head lazily against the wall behind him, and his expression couldn't be more obvious: Miss Ben is tired, so she is too lazy to say, guess for yourself.
Hui Jinghe pursed his lips, but he didn't care about her, so he really guessed.
"You're dressed in military uniform, aren't you from the barracks? You said that since I was kidnapped, His Royal Highness King Xian has regained military power, so ......"
At this point, Hui Jinghe was suddenly silent, what he wanted to ask was how Li Changping was doing.
Gu Jin looked at him fixedly, and said resolutely: "Uncle Guo was killed by you." After saying this, she was silent for two minutes, as if she felt that there was something wrong with this, Li Changping's cause of death was an old injury, and Hui Jinghe only indirectly caused the recurrence of his old injury.
Gu Jinsu came to seek the truth, so he changed the conversation again: "Uncle Guo has old wounds on his body, and he can't withstand the torture and torture of your water prison." ”
Hui Jinghe's body shook suddenly, and his pupils shrank, completely unthinking that his thoughtful actions that day would kill a person.
"Uncle Guo, he ......" He didn't believe it a little, but when he saw the faint pain in Gu Jin's eyes, he closed his mouth again.
What reason did she have to lie to herself?
Gu Jin saw that Hui Jinghe had a hidden remorse in his eyes, and knew that it was Ning Guogong's act of unloading and killing the donkey that stimulated him, and he also changed his temper, she had tried to persuade Huang Hao unsuccessfully, but now she felt that this little general Hui had some hope.
Gu Jin pursed his lips, and was about to say something to Hui Jinghe again, when he suddenly heard a shouting outside the window.
The two of them looked up together, and saw the fire outside the window, and the other shouting and shouting, obviously in chaos. Gu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that it was Lu Guitang who had found the traces he had left, but the scene in front of him was very similar to the scene when Gu Jin first arrived in Dingzhou City and encountered the mountain bandits robbing the house.
