Chapter Ninety-Nine: Arrival in Beijing
Li Congxin took Gu Huanyi to the house where he was resting, and instructed the old servant of the Gu family to bring clean water and wash his hair and face for Gu Huanyi, who was red-eyed.
Gu Huanyi lay on Li Congxin's lap, and his body trembled occasionally, which made Li Congxin feel very pity.
"Now you know you're scared?"
When Li Congxin rushed to the rescue, through the broken window, he saw Gu Huanyi pounced in front of Gu Jiayi to block the knife.
He really didn't want to reminisce about the feelings he felt at that time, but he couldn't blame her directly, otherwise it would make Gu Jiayi blame himself even more.
Gu Huanyi tugged at his clothes and whispered, "Fortunately, you arrived." ”
Li Congxin methodically washed her long hair, carefully washing away all the bloodstains.
He sighed, "What if I'm late?" ”
Li Congxin took Gu Huanyi's "sacrificial personality" and didn't know what to do.
Gu Huanyi knew why Li Congxin was unhappy, and obediently admitted his mistake: "I knew it was dangerous, but I didn't have time to think about it at the time, so I couldn't help but pounce." ”
Li Congxin knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to turn around and say: "From tomorrow onwards, you will practice martial arts with me every day as soon as possible." ”
Li Congxin "smelled the chicken and danced", Gu Huanyi knew this, although she didn't get up late every day, but if she really had to work as hard as him, she still had to endure hardships!
"Ah...... Every day? ”
"Yes, every day! Come rain come shine! You are so dedicated to saving people, no matter how many masters you have, you can't protect you, only if you are hard, I can rest assured. ”
The conversation between the two made Gu Huanyi gradually relax, and then she said: "This assassin came so suddenly, he dared to come to the house to assassinate!" ”
Li Congxin shook his head and said, "It's not sudden. ”
Gu Huanyi thought of what he had said before when he persuaded their brother and sister to go to the capital, so he asked, "How do you know that there will be danger?" ”
After Li Congxin rinsed her hair, he helped her up and wiped it clean, and then said: "Wan Yankang pursued and killed the mission regardless of the risk of provoking a war between the two countries, because he thought that your brother was in the mission, which is enough to show that your brother has a crucial handle in his hands. And Wan Yankang colluded with King Xian inside and outside, and King Xian learned that he failed to pursue and kill in Beiyi, and he would definitely do it before we returned to Beijing. Although Liangzhou has been in charge of Chengzhi in the past two years, he is far less authoritative than your father, and the people below are complex, and it is easy for King Xian to install some people, and Liangzhou is the best place for him to do it. ”
Although he expected this, Li Congxin didn't expect to be exploited by the assassins, he thought that Zheng Qing and Cheng Zhi were still by Gu Jiayi's side, but he didn't want them to be persuaded by Gu Huanyi to go back to rest.
Gu Huan said meaningfully: "What handle will my brother have with them?" He didn't even know that Gu Jiajun's case was a conspiracy of King Xian. ”
Li Congxin was also wondering about this, and Gu Jiayi himself didn't know why Wan Yankang and King Xian had to kill him.
After a short time, Liu Pei came back and forth: "The four assassins are all soldiers in the border army, and General Cheng has already arrived to deal with them. ”
Li Congxin nodded and said: "If you don't govern the army strictly, you will definitely lose a big one because of a small one, you ask General Cheng to be careful and not tolerate and raise traitors." ”
"Yes!"
Because Gu Jiajun sacrificed too much before, the military discipline of the border army in the past two years has been much looser, and at this point, Li Congxin is not very satisfied.
"Cheng Zhi's personal ability is good, but he is not handsome, which is a pity. If your brother can cheer up, it would be good for Cheng Zhi to assist him. ”
Gu Jiayi, whether it is physically or mentally, has a long way to go if he wants to recover as before.
And Gu Huanyi felt sorry for his brother, and didn't have much expectations for him, just said: "Help him quit the cold ice scatter first, and after taking care of his body, let's talk about the future." ”
Gu Jiayi's house where he was recuperating was destroyed and moved to Gu Huanyi's house to rest.
There are only a few rooms in Gu's house in Liangzhou, and Li Congxin's room is still a study.
Gu Huanyi had no place to live, so Li Congxin asked her to stay in her room to rest.
After making trouble for most of the night, Gu Huanyi didn't want to toss anymore, so he and Li Congxin rested in bed and bed.
When Li Congxin washed her hair, he wiped his own hair oil, a faint scent of cedar.
Gu Huanyi smelled the tips of his hair, a little cold, but it was a taste that belonged to Li Congxin.
"Shizi, let's go to Comb Bridge after we return to Beijing, although it is a new mansion rewarded by the Holy Lord, but there are still many places to be renovated to live in."
At this moment, she suddenly looked forward to having a home that belonged to her and Li Congxin, a place where he smelled everywhere.
Li Congxin smiled silently on the other side of the room and said, "Okay." ”
At the end of September, the prince of King Jing went north with the military order of the saint, mobilized a total of 400,000 troops from Liangzhou, Yunzhou and Qingzhou in the north, lined up in the north, and approached the Beiyi royal court step by step.
After the news of Xuan's heavy troops was transmitted back to Beiyi, an uprising broke out within Beiyi, and Rouran's disciples assassinated important generals and royal families in Beiyi everywhere, and at the same time captured Dalicheng, the ancient capital of Rouran.
Beiyi is in turmoil, there are external enemies, and the old disease of the king of Beiyi broke out, and the rout is unstoppable.
After Li Congxin sent Li Hongye out of the battle, he took the Gu brothers and sisters back to the capital.
In the golden autumn of October, the mission returned to Beijing.
After Li Congxin sent Gu Huanyi home, he personally took Gu Jiayi to the Kowloon Palace to meet the emperor.
When Gu Huanyi was anxious and waiting at home, the old lady Song had already rushed to the Gu house in person, surrounded by everyone in the Song family.
As soon as she saw Gu Huanyi, Mrs. Song asked eagerly, "Where is Jia'er!" Where's Jia'er? ”
Gu Huanyi hurriedly supported Mrs. Song and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, my brother went to the palace to meet the emperor, and he is not at home at the moment." ”
Mrs. Song said anxiously: "Oh, why don't you come back and let me see him first, I can't see him, I always can't believe it!" ”
Song Zhengrui didn't know whether the rescue went smoothly and what the emperor would do, so he kept it from the Song family until he was sure that Gu Jiayi had arrived in Beijing safely, and then told the old lady about his survival.
After the old lady found out, she cried in the Song Mansion, she couldn't wait any longer, and insisted on coming to the Gu Mansion to find someone.
At this moment, Song Zhengrui persuaded: "Jia'er can escape, it is a big deal for the country and the family, the emperor summoned him, it is enough to see the importance of Gu Jiajun, mother, you are patient and wait, when people come back, they can't run." ”
"Good, good."
Gu Huanyi helped her grandmother into the house and sat down, and then placed the uncles and aunts to sit down.
After serving tea to everyone, Gu Huanyi noticed that the eldest uncle was not there, so he found an opportunity to ask the younger aunt Zheng.
"Isn't my uncle at home?"
Zheng's eyes dodged, and he whispered: "Uncle has gone to Hengzhou." ”
Hengzhou is the maiden home of the eldest aunt Jiang, who took Song Xiangjun back to the province and never returned to the capital.
Gu Huanyi saw that Zheng's expression was wrong, and asked, "Is something wrong with Sister Xiangjun?" ”
Zheng said in her ear: "The sister-in-law told her a family affair in Hengzhou, and she wanted to promise Xiangjun to a nephew of the Jiang family, but Xiangjun refused to know it and ran ......away."
"Ran again?" Gu Huanyi was shocked and asked, "Did you find it?" ”
Zheng shook his head: "The Jiang family couldn't find anyone, so they wrote a letter to inform the uncle." Counting the days, it must be a little half a month. ”
Gu Huanyi sighed, worried about Song Xiangjun's matter.
