Chapter Ninety-Four: Gathering
Gu Jiayi asked in disbelief: "You...... Why did you come to Beiyi?! What is your relationship with Huan'er? β
Li Congxin said: "I have made a marriage with Huanyi, and Huanyi insists on coming in person in order to save you." I couldn't let her go on her alone, so I had to accompany her. β
Gu Jiayi asked eagerly, "Is Huan'er really here?" What nonsense! Send her away! β
Li Congxin said: "If you are willing to go with me, I can arrange for your brothers and sisters to leave the city immediately, but if you still refuse to go, I am really not sure that I can persuade Huan to leave." β
Gu Jiayi turned around hesitantly.
Li Congxin said: "If you believe my words, you must have understood who your enemy is, and you will no longer have hatred for Xuan Guo and Emperor Xuan." If you hesitate to go back at this moment, you must be ashamed to see it. Your experience in Beiyi, Huanyi knows everything, she has hired the best doctor to wait for you in the capital, as long as you are willing to go back, these are not problems. β
Gu Jiayi's voice trembled and asked, "The matter of cold ice scattering...... She also knew? She must have been disappointed in me......"
Li Congxin didn't hide it, and said: "She knows, but she is not disappointed in you, otherwise she would not have gone deep into the enemy territory to save you." You should think about it for her, you are her only closest relative, she even thought about agreeing to Yan Zhen to come to Beiyi to make peace with her in order to save you before. If you don't go back, I really don't know what will happen to her. β
Gu Jiayi's heart softened, and the defense line in his heart had begun to collapse after learning the truth.
"I'll go with you."
Li Congxin was overjoyed, and immediately called Zheng Qing to help Gu Jiayi untie the shackles on his hands and feet.
The three of them are all strong martial arts people, Gu Jiayi was injured in time, and it was not as good as before, but it was not a problem to sneak out of the iron prison.
Wan Yan really hid him in the iron prison, which was unexpected, but it was not difficult to break through.
Li Congxin directly took Gu Jiayi to Gu Huanyi's inn.
Liu Pei was guarding the downstairs of the inn, and when he saw Li Congxin bringing someone at dawn, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here at this time?" β
Li Congxin instructed: "The people have been rescued, quickly put it in order, and as soon as the city gate is opened at dawn, they will leave the city with joy." β
Liu Pei glanced at the man wearing a big cloak standing behind Li Congxin in surprise, and immediately went to Zhu Yong to prepare for the return journey.
Li Congxin took Gu Jiayi upstairs and knocked on Gu Huanyi's door.
Gu Huanyi didn't find her brother's whereabouts, and after Li Congxin went to the reception banquet, there was no news, she was so worried that she didn't sleep all night, and when she heard a knock on the door, she immediately ran out to open the door.
She saw Li Congxin appear outside the door in a night suit, and asked anxiously, "How is it, is there any news?" β
Li Congxin held her shoulder, turned his head to look at the corridor outside the room, and said, "Look who I brought here." β
Gu Huanyi's heart immediately rose to the top of the room, and she walked out of the room extremely timidly, she walked very lightly, as if she was afraid of alarming people.
Gu Jiayi's whole person was shrouded in a big cloak, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but this figure, Gu Huanyi could recognize it at a glance!
She whimpered and ran to Gu Jiayi, crashed into his arms, and shouted in a low voice and eagerly: "Brother! Is that you, I'm not dreaming, are I? Are you really alive?! Great, I'm so happy! β
The moment Gu Jiayi saw his sister, he had already burst into tears, he trembled and wanted to hug his sister, but he felt ashamed and unworthy.
"It's me, I'm back." He said in a choked voice.
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Huanyi couldn't restrain himself anymore and couldn't cry.
Li Congxin said to the two: "This is not the time to relax, you will catch up later." I have asked my uncle to take care of it, after you open the city gate, you will immediately hurry back to China, there is no delay on the road, to Sanyang Pass, Cheng Zhi will lead a large army to meet you, and it will be safe at that time. β
Gu Huanyi nodded happily: "Okay, let's go." β
She was about to go back to her room to pack her things, when she suddenly stopped and turned back and asked, "Are you with us?" β
Li Congxin shook his head and said, "I'll leave after attending the birthday banquet of King Beiyi." β
Gu Huanyi said anxiously: "No! After Yan Zhen dawned, she would know that my brother was missing, and she would definitely suspect you, it was too dangerous for you to stay in Beiyi! β
Li Congxin smiled and said, "It's okay, even if she doubts me, what can she do to me?" The King of Beiyi will not allow her to do anything wrong. β
Gu Huan didn't comply, and insisted: "No, I can't leave you here." β
Li Congxin patiently persuaded: "Only if I stay here, can I hold off Wan Yanzhen, otherwise you won't be able to go far and you will be discovered." You have to believe me, I have my own way out. β
Gu Huanyi was so anxious that he cried out and said, "If you come together, you will leave together, if something happens to you, what should you do with me, no, no!" β
Zheng Qing also persuaded on the side: "Only if your brothers and sisters get out safely, the son of the world can have no scruples, if you are caught, he will really not be able to get out." β
Gu Huanyi didn't know what to do, so Zheng Qing said: "You can go at ease, I will stay here to protect the son, with the kung fu of the two of us, it is really not difficult to get out, you don't want to mother-in-law, let's go!" β
Gu Huanyi and Li Congxin were very surprised, but they didn't expect Zheng Qing to be willing to accompany Li Congxin to take risks.
Zheng Qing was embarrassed by the two of them, so he said: "I admire the son of the world as a person, he can personally go to the iron prison to save people for you, I, as an uncle, also have to have some effect, right?" β
Gu Huanyi burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Why do you even dare to take advantage of the prince!" β
Gu Huanyi was reluctant to call Zheng Qing an uncle because of the in-laws of the Zheng family and his little uncle.
Li Congxin said: "I understand Zheng Shaoxia's kindness, but I already have my uncle here to take over, and it is better for you to protect their brothers and sisters." Major General Gu is not in good health, and he is running around on the road, so he has to worry about you more. β
Zheng Qing understood that Gu Jiayi's addiction to cold ice could attack at any time on the road, and Gu Huanyi couldn't solve this problem, so he had to rely on him.
He didn't say much anymore, and promised: "Okay, I promise to send their brothers and sisters back to Liangzhou, and you will also return as soon as possible." β
Downstairs, Liu Pei and Zhu Yong quickly put the convoy in order, and when the sky was bright, they went out of the city as soon as the royal city opened.
Out of Wangcheng, the Gu brothers and sisters, Zheng Qing, Liu Pei, and Zhu Yong brought eight masters, and a group of more than ten people abandoned the car and changed horses, and hurried south.
In the post station of the mission in the city, early in the morning, Wan Yanzhen led a large number of people to surround the post house, rushed into Li Cong's heart and asked: "Hand over the people!" β
Li Congxin seemed to have just gotten up, and asked in a loose robe: "Who is the princess looking for when she comes to me?" β
Wan Yanzhen couldn't directly say the name of "Gu Jiayi", if she said it openly, it would be tantamount to admitting that she had hidden the generals of the Xuan Kingdom, even if she found people, she might not be able to take them away.
"What exactly was the congratulatory gift you said last night?"
Li Congxin smiled and said, "Brother Ling found a few sweaty and bloody horses from Fengli Mountain and gave them to me, and the princess came here for these horses?" This is too exciting. β
"Lie! You didn't say that at all last night? Wan Yanzhen was so anxious that her eyes were red.
Li Congxin was puzzled: "Oh? So what do I say? My fiancΓ©e was born in Jiangmen, and she loves to ride horses the most, and she must be very happy to get this bloody horse. What does the princess think I am talking about? β
