Chapter 269: Change
The sun hangs down on the west mountain, and the desert Gobi is really a grand scene.
Gu Jin and Lu Guitang walked hand in hand, strolling along the Missing Moon Pond all the way, the situation was the same as back then, in Bianliang City, on the bank of the Xiaolang River.
Lu Guitang smiled and took Gu Jin's hand.
"Marshal Gu has promised to marry you to me, let's go back to Bianliang and get married." Before he said this, he paused again, "No, after I am established as the prince, I want you to pass through the middle gate, enter the pepper room, and respect the back seat!" ”
Dazhen can only enter the palace through the gate of the middle palace after the crown princess and the queen are crowned.
Gu Jin couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"The world is undecided, the situation is not settled, Your Highness should not say this too early, besides, this dowry has not been sent yet, and my father has not agreed."
Lu Guitang was stunned for a moment, and saw that Gu Jin was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but laugh for a while, and then he looked a little weaker.
"Yes, the world is undecided, the situation is not peaceful, what will happen to the DPRK this time, be cautious, I really can't be sure."
Gu Jin shook his hand in turn, as if comforted, but also worried: "Now the combined forces of Shuobei and Dingzhou have 200,000 people, no matter how Lu Chengxiu and Ning Guogong recruit troops, they can't gather so many troops. But I'm worried about ......"
She sighed: "Ah Tang, Lu Chengxiu abandoned Shuobei, but it doesn't mean that he removed the dark line here, now the war in Shuobei has stopped, and Helian Qi's excerpt of peace has also been played in the imperial court, you and I were able to live in Shuobei without incident, maybe because Lu Chengxiu was too busy to take care of himself, maybe because you and I were tied up by the war and lost the threat to him, but now that the situation has calmed down, he won't know that our next step is to set off for Bianliang, and his countermeasures, you and I don't know yet." ”
The original joy on Lu Guitang's face gradually faded when he heard this, and he thought about this counter-truth for a long time.
Lu Chengxiu is not a passive person, he naturally knows that even if he holds the Great Seal of the Prison State in his hand now, he will not be able to withstand the day when Lu Guitang's class returns to the dynasty, Bianliang's troops are already in deficit, he can't find troops, what method will he use to compete with Lu Guitang?
Is it to hold the emperor and queen hostage, or to order the courtiers to be prisoners?
Lu Guitang couldn't think of it, but the next moment, they were all stunned.
Shang Guyuan came from a distance on a horse, his expression was very anxious, "Your Highness, Miss Gu, the young general asked me to ask, have you seen Miss Gu San?" ”
Gu Jin and Lu Guitang were stunned, the two looked at each other and shook their heads no.
"What's wrong?"
Shang Guyuan reined in before the two of them, and then got off the horse, and hurriedly explained, "The young general came to look for the third lady, saying that he hadn't seen anyone since last night, and now the marshal's mansion has been searched up and down, and the city has also sent people to look for it, but to no avail." ”
Gu Jin was shocked, only felt that this was not a good thing, and couldn't help but associate himself with the situation of this matter.
The three of them went back to the Marshal's Mansion together, and they could hear the sound of He crying and wiping tears from a distance, last night everyone gathered in the flower hall to discuss the return to the dynasty and the marriage between Lu Guitang and Gu Jin, even He was present at that time, but Gu Xiang was not seen, Gu Jin thought that it was about Lu Guitang and she did not want to come.
Now it seems that it is not that he is unwilling, but that something happened last night.
It was originally scheduled to return to the court tomorrow, but the sudden change at this time really made everyone anxious.
At this time, Gu Haomian and Zhao Xide and others had already gone to the city to look for people, and Lu Guitang and others did not delay any longer, his injuries had healed, so he and Shang Guyuan Lengshan searched for people together, leaving only Gu Jiangyuan, He and Gu Jin in the mansion.
The sky was getting dark, the lights were on in the northern Xinjiang city, and every household was wrapped in the joyful atmosphere of the war subsided, but only Marshal Gu's mansion was nervously killed.
When Gu Haomian came back, He Shi urgently asked how the situation was, and the answer was naturally no.
"Today, the soldiers in the barracks have been mobilized to search the entire northern Xinjiang city, and the whereabouts of Xiang'er have not been found.
To the east of Beijiang City is Dingzhou, where Chai Yu is in charge, if there is any situation, Lu Guitang will get the news as soon as possible, but if Gu Xiang goes to the Missing Moon Pool, it is nowhere to be found in the vast sea of people.
"His Royal Highness King Xian and others are already waiting at the gate of the city, and I came back to inform my parents, the Moon Pool is not far away, but the city is bigger, and it is estimated that I will not return until noon tomorrow."
Gu Jiangyuan and He naturally nodded in response, and did not stop Gu from sleeping, at this time Gu Xiang's whereabouts became a string in everyone's hearts, she was in trouble in the mountains and forests, and after Gu Jin's persuasion, her temperament has been restrained a lot, and she will not run out of the city at this time, but at this time, everyone hopes that Gu Xiang will go out by himself.
Otherwise......
It was already late at night, Gu Jin was pacing in the room alone, calculating the time, Gu Haomian, Lu Guitang and the others should have already left the city at this time, maybe they had reached the Missing Moon Pool.
The more she thought about Gu Xiang's disappearance, the more wrong it became, and she didn't know if it was because of the experience in her previous life, or because women were born with intuition, Gu Jin felt that it happened at this juncture, and it was probably related to Lu Chengxiu.
In the afternoon, she was still speculating with Lu Guitang about Lu Chengxiu's coping method, if Gu Xiang's disappearance was really related to Lu Chengxiu, it seemed that he already had this coping method.
He hijacked his parents in the palace and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in Bianliang City, and now he has reached the point of desperation to hold a powerless little woman hostage, which is really insidious.
Thinking of this, Gu Jin's expression softened slightly, the person who knows Lu Chengxiu best in this world should be herself.
The two have been married for another eight years, and Gu Jin knows his ambition, knows his temperament, and understands his attitude and style of doing things.
Her speculation on Lu Chengxiu was also very accurate, just like at the palace banquet that night, she could see that Lu Chengxiu had forced the palace, and in Dingzhou City, she could see that Lu Chengxiu had abandoned the city, and tonight, it was the same.
Gu Jin went out of the room, but went straight to Gu Xiang's room.
The movement on He's side disappeared, thinking that he was tired of crying after crying for a day, but the lamp in Gu Jiangyuan's room was still in his hands, and he couldn't sleep.
At the moment, everything was Gu Jin's speculation, and she thought that Gu Jiangyuan was injured, so she didn't bother and went to Gu Xiang's room.
There was no clutter in the girl's boudoir, only a pot of cold tea on the table attracted Gu Jin's attention.
It had been a day since Gu Xiang disappeared, and the tea cup was still on the table, and the tea in the pot had cooled, but she smelled a bitter smell.
If I remember correctly, Gu Xiang doesn't like to drink strong tea, and he only used one sip of tea in this teacup, which made Gu Jin wonder.
