That night, in the Dingyan City Post House.

Prince Yi sat on the main seat, looking condescendingly at the two brothers Gu Chenyi and Gu Chenda who were kneeling down, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

"Gu Bai, this king heard you rubbing the Beirong Great Khan Huyanlu in front of the battle today, but you are really brave."

"The prince praised it falsely, this is the last general's business."

"What's the matter?" The coldness in Prince Yi's voice increased sharply: "I heard that today's Huyanlu was defeated, and Beirong is in a state of discouragement, as the commander-in-chief, you did not order the pursuit to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop, but collected the troops and returned to the city?" ”

"The two generals really cherish their soldiers!" seems to be a compliment, but the ridicule in these words Gu Chenyi heard it clearly, he secretly felt bad in his heart, but he couldn't show it: "Lord, the whole army of the Gu family is up and down, serving the country to the death, protecting the family and defending the country, without the slightest hesitation, his heart can be learned, ask the prince to see it!" ”

"Good! Then your two brothers will lead their troops out of the city now, and wipe out the remnants of Beirong in one fell swoop, and this king will believe in your loyalty to the Gu family! ”

Gu Chenyi's fist salute was tightened and tightened, Gu Chenda couldn't attack with his anger, and even his shoulders were trembling.

"Lord, please forgive me for not being able to do this." Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord Wang, please listen to the explanation of the last general, now there is ...... in the army."

"Gu Bai!" Prince Yi sharply interrupted Gu Chenyi's words: "I think your level of making excuses is better than your Gu family's army fighting!" ”

"The prince is angry, after all, once Beirong is destroyed, this Gu family army will not have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, this British prince naturally wants to plan for the Gu family's meritorious service......" Wang Xi beside Prince Yi said with a strange yin and yang aura.

"Wang Xi! What nonsense are you talking about! Hearing that someone slandered his father, Gu Chenda couldn't hold it anymore, and scolded angrily at the moment.

"Gu Bin, shouting so much, do you still take this king in your eyes!"

"Fifth brother!" Gu Chenyi dissuaded Gu Chenda, and immediately said to Prince Yi: "Lord Wang, it is the last general's dereliction of duty and failure to restrain his subordinates, if there is any blame, the last general will bear it, although Gu Bin has a strong temperament, he has no disrespect for the prince, ask the prince for forgiveness!" ”

"What a brotherly relationship," Prince Yi sneered: "Don't worry, none of you can escape, come here,"

"Gu Bai and Gu Bin were passive and slacked off the war, and they committed the following crimes, which is a serious crime in wartime. Put them in prison for a few days! ”

Prince Yi's soldiers on both sides swarmed up, and Gu Chenda was even more angry: "Now the Tartars outside the city are still eyeing us, who will lock us up and resist?" ”

Prince Yi glanced at the two of them, and seemed to be in a good mood: "Without the Gu family, I still have the Gu family." ”

This was said so bluntly, even Gu Chenyi's face changed greatly, but both of them knew that it was useless to resist, and they might also implicate their father and brother, so they had to endure the resentment and hatred, and let others tie up and push away.

Ye Ziqi saw that Gu Chenyi and the two were tied up in the county office, and knew who did it, so he was indignant in his heart, and stepped forward to hand over some silver to the escort, wanting to "greet" with the two generals.

The Gu family's army is famous, although they are acting on the orders of the prince, these soldiers also have some respect for the Gu family, and at this time, they have money to take, so they naturally agree without a word.

On the other side, inside the Beirong Shuai tent.

Hu Yanlu shattered everything in the tent and lit up the big axe at the man behind the curtain:

"You said that I could take revenge today, why is Gu Shilang still safe and sound?"

"I only said that the Great Khan can take revenge today, who said that Gu Shilang will be poisoned to death today?" The man didn't panic in the slightest, "But don't worry, if it was poisoning, he is now a defeated soldier under my command." ”

Hu Yanlu saw that he was confident, and he was half skeptical and half convinced: "Okay, Ben Khan will keep your head for the time being!" ”

In the camp behind him, all the Gu Jiajun who had not yet been infected stood in formation, holding weapons, describing Junshu, and waiting for the battle, as if thousands of troops were already standing on the opposite side, just waiting for the commander to give an order to meet the enemy.

There was the sound of approaching footsteps, Gu Shan took a deep breath, clenched the gun in his hand, and the rear military formation was not chaotic at all, but everyone put on a posture to defend against the enemy.

Several figures appeared in the night, but they were Ye Ziqi and the little guards beside him.

The name Ye Ziqi, Gu Shan has heard his father and brother mention it many times, and the words related to him range from appreciation to sympathy to admiration, and seeing the deity at this critical moment made him stunned: the person in front of him is clearly dressed as a scholar, but his style is not inferior to the iron army that has been drinking blood on the battlefield opposite him for many years, and Gu Shan also vaguely understands why this young Qincha, who rushed to the north at the beginning, can calm people's hearts so quickly and take over all affairs in the city with ease.

Ye Ziqi looked at Gu Shan's thin but firm figure, and his heart shook—it was clearly just a fifteen-year-old boy, who was alone, but he saw the entire Gu family from him, and saw everyone in the Gu family army—whether they were still standing in this camp or not.

The two sides are facing each other, on one side is the iron-blooded army that is tense, and on the other side is the breezy and bright moon and the young Qincha, forming a strange picture. In the end, it was Ye Ziqi who started the conversation: "General Gu Qi, in the dead of night, the whole army of the Gu family army is like this, what are you going to do?" ”

These words obviously have a deep meaning, Gu Shan is already smart, and naturally understands the meaning of Ye Ziqi's words, but after all, he is young and lacks some political experience, so he can't think of how to respond for a while.

He tried his best to recall the scene of his father and brothers talking with those officials of the DPRK and China, and wanted to imitate a very similar appearance, but the anxiety about everything was still in the clouds and fog, and finally overcame everything, he rushed straight to Ye Ziqi, and even forgot to salute: "Ye Qincha, my fourth brother and fifth brother ......."

Hearing this, Ye Ziqi couldn't help but close his eyes, and sighed deeply in his heart - is it too cruel for a teenager to have to accept this fact at this time?

He shook his head, returned to his usual gentle appearance, and said, "Seventh General, if you believe me, first tell me what did your brother tell you when he went out of the city to fight the enemy today?" ”

Gu Shan hesitated for a second and said, "My fourth brother said that if he and the fifth brother have not come back yet, I must defend the Gu family's military camp, and no one can let them in." ”

"Your brother won't let you stay in the camp alone, did he mention who to ask if you can't make up your mind?"

“…… Lin Qian is my fourth brother's lieutenant. Gu Shan thought about it for a while, and finally only said this one name.

"Good. Can you please talk about Vice General Lin below? ”

Gu Shan whispered a few words to the guards standing guard at the gate of the camp, and soon a silver-armored young man with a snake spear walked out quickly and gave a military salute to Ye Ziqi: "Gu family army Lin Qian, I have seen Ye Qincha. ”

"The general doesn't have to be polite, there are some things to ask the general below." So the voice of the conversation between the two became softer, Gu Shan stayed away with interest, just looked at his eldest brother Lin and nodded, and finally almost knelt down to Ye Ziqi to thank him, he was puzzled in his heart, but Lin Qian patted him on the shoulder and asked him to go over.

Ye Ziqi got the information he wanted, and he felt even deeper in his heart: the British prince, the twenty-year-old general Huaihua of Huaguo, is indeed worthy of his name.

He looked at Gu Shan's somewhat cramped appearance, and smiled: "Seventh General don't need to be uneasy, you have done a good job, just act according to your brother's arrangement, and ask General Lin if you have any undecided." ”

As he spoke, he smiled and said solemnly: "I will never let the young people ruin the Gu family's army and the soldiers' efforts for many days, the seventh general and all the generals only guard the Gu family's army now, and when your father and brother come back to lead the troops to kill the Tartars!" ”

"I'll leave the rest to you."

After Ye Ziqi finished speaking, he bowed and turned to leave. Lonely Moon Qinghui cast a long shadow behind him, silent and firm.

Gu Shan looked at Ye Ziqi's distant back, the spear in his hand was held tighter, and there was maturity beyond age in his black pupils: "Father, brother...... Someone came to help us, Xiao Qi...... and will guard everything for you. ”

In the prison of Dingyan City, Gu Chenyi closed his eyes and recuperated, but his back was still straight—now this cell has become a good place to isolate himself from the outside world.

Gu Chenda, who was extremely sleepy in the other cell, heard an unusual noise. He slammed into the door of the cell, only to see black and red blood staining Gu Chenyi's thin prison clothes. His eyes were so wide that he almost broke the iron bar: "Fourth brother! ”

"Gorou, don't come near me." Gu Chenyi's forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat because of the pain.

The county government not far from the prison was brightly lit, Ye Ziqi sat in the hall, and the important officials and all the officials in the city were neatly at the next station.

His voice was still as kind and clear as ever, but those officials could see clearly, and for the first time, there was murder in the eyes of this elegant Qincha.

The night wind blew, and the night in the north became colder.
