Chapter 275: Confrontation
The crowd was like a tide, crowding on the streets of the Lack of Moon Pool in the northern realm of Shuobei, but they were lined up on both sides in the next moment.
At the end of the road, Gu Jin was dressed in red and wrapped in the cold wind and sand of Shuobei, but his eyes contained warmth.
"Be careful!"
Lu Guitang's eyes crossed the sea of people, and he found her at a glance, only to see the girl stepping on a horse, a strong suit involved in thousands of troops, and she could see the stars in her eyes, like a horse stepping on mountains and rivers.
She rode her horse closer, turned over and dismounted in front of Gu Haomian and dismounted, her eyes moved, as if she had returned to the time when he met her in the hunting ground at the autumn hunting meeting.
Gu Haomian saw that Gu Jin was safe and sound, so he settled down, and when he was about to ask about Gu Xiang's whereabouts, he found that there was another person behind her:
Gu Xiang's equestrian skills are not good, it is good to gallop on the horse farm, but when it comes to the group of people in front of him, he is a little constrained, so he simply abandons the horse far away, and trots all the way towards Gu Haomian.
"Brother!"
Gu Haomian grabbed her, and saw that her two younger sisters were safe and sound, and her face was also happy.
"Jin'er, you rescued Xiang'er."
Before Gu Jin could answer, Gu Xiang had already nodded, it was Gu Jin who saved her, and she admitted this.
But what Gu Jin wanted to say was far more shocking than this, "Lu Chengxiu is in Northern Xinjiang City. Before the words came out, she paused again, and simply changed her words: "If he finds out that Gu Xiang and I are gone, he should chase him to the Missing Moon Pool now." ”
Everyone was startled, and before they could make the next move, they heard a commotion in the distance.
The onlookers simply moved out of the way, and sure enough, it was Lu Chengxiu who brought people to chase after them.
Seeing this, Lu Guitang stopped Gu Jin behind him, walked a few steps forward by himself, and when Lu Chengxiu also turned over and dismounted, the situation collapsed tightly.
Lu Guitang smiled, "Brother Huang." ”
The person he called the imperial brother didn't answer, he only turned his gaze to Gu Jin in the crowd with a cold face, there was unfathomable emotion in his eyes, others couldn't understand it, but Gu Jin understood.
He was complaining about her, and he was still standing behind Lu Guitang in a hurry.
Lu Guitang's expression also darkened by two points, and he turned sideways to block his gaze at Gu Jin, but smiled at Lu Chengxiu, and said, "The imperial brother should also say when he comes to Shuobei, I will go to welcome the imperial brother." ”
Lu Chengxiu glanced at him with a cold face, "With the 200,000 troops in your hands?" ”
What is called a confrontation between words, the onlookers know it.
Lu Guitang smiled again, he took his hand, but looked up at the lonely sky, in the direction of Dingzhou.
"Even if there are 200,000 troops, it is also the army of the imperial court, why is the military power in my hands now, isn't it because the imperial brother is to blame."
This is true, the soldiers are all soldiers of the imperial court, even if the people in charge of the troops before this are Gu Jiangyuan and Li Changping, but in the end, it is because of Lu Chengxiu's usurpation of the throne that the army's heart is lost, Li Changping buries his bones in Dingzhou, Gu Haomian even if he risks the dedication of the crime of betrayal of the party, he has to help Lu Guitang, this is not Lu Guitang's strength, or Lu Chengxiu's single-handedness.
Speaking of which, he should really thank Lu Chengxiu.
Lu Chengxiu is an understanding person, naturally he knows what he is saying in and out of his words, he didn't say anything at the moment, the people around him had already surrounded the road, Lu Chengxiu thought that he brought it because he would scare them away, but he didn't expect that at this time, people gathered more and more.
There was an elderly man in the crowd, holding a handful of gray beards, and asked earnestly:
"His Royal Highness King Shu, the old man is the clan elder of this lack of moon pool, today the big guys are here, the old man wants to ask you a word, the imperial court abandoned Dingzhou City, since then Dingzhou has been persecuted by bandits for more than ten years, and now you have abandoned the two cities of Northern Xinjiang and Dingzhou, do you really want to ignore these tens of thousands of people?"
When it comes to the degree of empathy for these words, Huang Hao should be the most popular in the crowd, but it is undeniable that Huang Hao's god has not returned, and he is still lingering on Gu Haomian and Lu Guitang's acting skills.
Huang Hao didn't echo the old man, but the people behind him echoed again and again:
"His Royal Highness King Shu, the people of Shuobei have long suffered from war, but you still want to abandon us, is this what a monarch and a minister should do?"
"If it weren't for the fact that Miss Gu and His Royal Highness King Xian fought back against Prince Gui, there would still be the sound of the battle horn in this missing moon pool!"
"I heard that His Royal Highness King Xian is willing to die for the people of Dingzhou, but you are holding Miss Gu hostage to blackmail the young general, you and His Royal Highness King Xian are both princes, and you act so differently!"
……
Every sentence poked Lu Chengxiu's heart.
He frowned and looked at the old man who took the lead in speaking: "If I don't sit on the throne, how can I control the world." ”
"What the prince said is wrong."
A clear sound came, and everyone looked back and saw that it was Gu Jin who spoke.
Lu Chengxiu raised his eyebrows, and patiently asked her why her words were wrong.
Gu Jin did not hesitate to explain: "You know that water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, today you take the people as the foundation to ascend the throne, tomorrow the foundation stone collapses, can you still sit on the throne?" If the prince doesn't believe it, just take a look at the people in the city around you, they are all willing to do so, has the prince ever thought that if my brother really wants to kill the king of Xian because he is worried about the safety of me and Gu Xiang, what will happen to the people in this city? ”
Everyone was silent, and this question caused everyone to think deeply.
If Fang Cai Gu Haomian and Zhao Xide really sent troops, the people who knelt on the ground would inevitably riot.
This is the voice of the people, and it is also the grievance of the people.
At the moment when everyone was silent, Lu Chengxiu's figure suddenly turned around and approached Gu Xiang, who was closest to him.
——
When Gu Haomian reached out to grab it, it was too late, and Lu Chengxiu held Gu Xiang hostage again!
The man sneered: "How great is the ability of the people? That has the ability to save Miss Gu San. ”
The force in his hand couldn't help but increase, strangling Gu Xiang's snow-white neck, and the girl in pain grinned, but she couldn't make a sound.
Lu Guitang and the others were all nervous in their hearts, now that they had an army in their hands before and after, the hidden guards brought by Lu Chengxiu alone could no longer protect him, he was forced to be in a hurry, and if he was forced to continue, he might really kill Gu Xiang.
"Lu Chengxiu!"
Gu Jin's clear voice came again, this was the first time she had called his name in her life.
Not only Lu Chengxiu was stunned, but even Lu Guitang, Gu Haomian and others were stunned for a moment.
Listen to her, "If you don't believe it, why don't we say one more thing." These hidden guards behind you were lent to you by Ning Guogong? ”
Lu Chengxiu was silent, naturally he was the one who Lu Chengxiu lent him.
"Then do you remember being assassinated in Bianliang City last autumn, or was it injured in my family?"
Lu Chengxiu was silent, he naturally remembered.
