Chapter 30: The Men Join the Army
Huaiyu and Duan Qinqin left the medicine hall and went to Pingkang Chefang to rent a carriage.
"Sit tight!" Huaiyu confessed to Duan Qinqin, who was excited behind him, and waved the horsewhip in his hand.
"Drive!"
"Ahh That's great! The excitement on Duan Qinqin's face couldn't be stopped, if she was still a little apprehensive before she got into the carriage, it was all gone at this time, and the rest was all the excitement of leaving home without permission.
She could even imagine Duan Chichi and Duan Shenshen's shocked expressions when they found out that they were gone, as well as the angry looks of the adults.
"Huaiyu, you said that if my mother knew that I ran out with you, would she go crazy?"
Huaiyu, who was in a hurry, didn't care much: "It's okay, after we return to Kyoto, let my father repair a book and tell them that we are safe and good." ”
"Yes!"
Huaiyu drove the car, just out of the gate of Linzhou Mansion, and rode a horse on the wide Linzhou Road.
On weekdays, Linzhou Road is also full of cars and businesses, but there are obviously more cars and horses on the road today than usual, and most of them are transporting medicinal herbs and food.
"Qinqin, hurry up and get into the carriage, we have to avoid those medicinal herb carriages." Huaiyu said to Duan Qinqin while driving the car.
Duan Qinqin was puzzled: "Why?" ”
"It's not because it's all your cars, so it's hard for anyone to recognize you."
"Makes sense!"
Duan Qinqin obediently hid in the carriage, lowered the curtain, and asked through the curtain: "Then you are alone outside, aren't you alone?" ”
"I ......"
Huaiyu didn't know how to answer this, so he simply didn't answer it.
The two of them walked less than five miles, Huaiyu saw a familiar figure standing in front of the wine shop in front of them, and after a closer look, it was not Gu Youzhao who it was, Huaiyu hurriedly stopped the carriage and looked at Gu Youzhao with a stunned face.
Gu and Zhao's eyebrows were frosty, cold, and the carriage's upper Huaiyu looked at each other.
Duan Qinqin in the car lifted the curtain: "Why don't you leave?" It's ......"
"That, with Brother Zhao, it's like this, the ......" Huaiyu sneered, "Today's weather is so good, Qin Qin and I went out for a walk." ”
Gu Youzhao snorted in his nose, squeezed into the carriage in silence, squeezed Huaiyu aside, took the horsewhip in her hand, raised it high, fell gently, and hit the horse that was grazing, the horse neighed, raised its legs and ran.
Ma'er: Who did I provoke?
"Well, this ......" Huaiyu and Duan Qinqin had puzzled faces, and Qin Qin asked: "He's going to run away from home with us?" ”
"What did you say!" Huaiyu knocked her on a burst, "We're going out!" Do you understand? ”
"Oh, it's good if you're happy!" Duan Qinqin rolled his eyes.
Huaiyu secretly glanced at Gu Youzhao, who was seriously driving the car beside him, and cautiously called, "Brother Gu? With Brother Zhao? With with? ”
Gu Youzhao didn't even give Huaiyu a look, Huaiyu had to explain again: "Harm! I'm not worried about my dad! You know, I'm just such a father, uh......"
Huaiyu saw a smile on the corner of Gu Youzhao's mouth, so he relieved his heart and asked, "How do you know that we ran away from home?" ”
"yes, how do you know?" Duan Qinqin also poked his head out, looking curious.
Gu and Zhao did not answer the words of the two.
Duan Qinqin said "oh": "I forgot, you are a mute, you can't speak." ”
Huaiyu turned his head and pushed Duan Qinqin into the carriage: "Come in and hide from you!" Don't come out, I seem to have seen a certain steward in your medicine hall just now, and it would be great for him to recognize you! ”
When Duan Qinqin heard this, he really obediently retracted into the carriage and shut up and didn't dare to speak.
Huaiyu looked at Gu Hezhao who was driving the car next to him, his every move was very quiet, and even his breathing was quiet.
Huaiyu clearly remembers that a few years ago he spoke cutely, his voice was loud, his laughter was loud, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he laughed, he grew up in the army since he was a child, and he had a simple character in a soldier, every time he saw Huaiyu, he would hold Huaiyu high, and he would not stop crying without scaring Huaiyu.
In addition to his father, Huaiyu's closest person is Gu Youzhao.
Afterward......
Huaiyu shook his head and forced himself not to think about what happened at that time: "Brother Zhao, did you say that my father would be sent to Yundu?" ”
Gu Youzhao pursed his lips and shook his head slowly.
Huaiyu couldn't tell if he meant that he wouldn't be sent, or if he didn't know.
"Harm! If he wants to go to Yundu, I'll go with him! ”
"Humph!" Gu Youzhao snorted lightly.
Huaiyu hugged his left hand in surprise: "Oh, you finally made a little noise, come on, hum more, hum more!" ”
“……”

-------
The three of them walked non-stop for two hours, and Gu and Zhao parked the carriage in front of a post house and let the horses rest, eat grass, and drink some water.
It also allows people to take a break by the way.
At this time, he had already walked nearly half of the distance, Duan Qinqin woke up from sleep and shouted that he was hungry, so Huaiyu proudly took out the silver ticket in his arms and asked for a beef noodle for each of the three.
"Your trick of 'hand-taking' makes you very skilled." Duan Qinqin smiled while eating noodles, "This is the money from the medicine hall yesterday, and the steward found that it was less, so I don't know how to explain it!" ”
"It turned out to be the money from the sale of medicines, no wonder the denomination is so small."
A few people were eating, and suddenly heard a few men on the side discussing loudly "joining the army", "Yundu", "Li Qu" and the like, Huaiyu and the three of them glanced at each other, intending to listen carefully.
I only heard one of the bearded men say: "Grandma, didn't Li Qu, the chief soldier of Yundu, claim to defend Yundu and never let the Yan thieves break through the city gate?" Why, after only a few days, he abandoned the city and fled! What kind of hero, isn't it for nothing that he took the official mansion and didn't do anything! ”
"But no, I heard that hundreds of people in Yundu died tragically under the knife of the Yan thief at this time, and Yuncheng is now bleeding like a river, and it is unbearable to see."
"Smack!"
The bearded man slapped the table: "Grandma's! Lao Tzu can't swallow this breath! ”
"And big brother, don't be angry!"
The rest of the people hurriedly persuaded and said: "Recently, the Gu family army is going to recruit new soldiers, if you and I have the will to serve the country, join the army together, and then go into battle to kill the enemy and drive away the Yan thief, you can also contribute to my great you!" ”
Gu Youzhao sighed quietly.
Huaiyu was even more worried in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush back to Kyoto immediately and ask his father in person if the war in Yundu was really serious to this extent.
"Sister Qinqin, with Brother Zhao, let's go."
Duan Qinqin and Gu Youzhao nodded, and the group sat back in the carriage and continued on their way.
After another two hours, I finally arrived at the General's Mansion.
Huaiyu eagerly ran to Gu Yanhe's study, but she didn't see Gu Yanhe, she ran to the martial arts training ground again, but she still didn't see it.
Steward Lin gasped: "Girl, the general went to Yundu by order yesterday, and specially explained that the old slave was hiding from you, but I didn't expect ......"
Huaiyu looked at Steward Lin in a daze, and his hands were cold.
The tragic massacre kept flashing in her mind, and the three-year-old was held in her arms by Gu Youzhao, hiding under the bed, and there were tragic fighting and screams outside......
