Chapter 525: Homeland
Xiang Wei glanced at a few female dependents and said, "Niece and niece and niece are also going?" Otherwise, follow the officers and soldiers, and then look for it in Yumen Pass, maybe it is in the pass, but you didn't bother to come up and report to me? ”
Ge Shi shook his head and said, "If you are in the pass, you are not afraid that something will happen to them." We're all here, and we're always thinking about taking a look. ”
This is the original reason why they came in a hurry, even if it is risky, they have to try to do it.
Seeing this, Xiang Wei didn't persuade anymore and said, "I'll let people look for it carefully." ”
The bodies of Gu Zhiqing and the three of them are still kept in Yizhuang, and they will be buried after Gu Yunjin and his sisters-in-law return from the Northland, and they will be buried according to Shan's explanation.
Xiang Wei arranged a place for them to live, and at this time, he didn't mention anything to catch the wind and wash the dust, but only asked people to send two jars of wine to make a heart.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Gu Yunjin followed his brothers and sisters-in-law to look for it in the pass, but did not meet the familiar northerners, so he could only return disappointed.
Jiang Muyuan wrote an excerpt and returned to Beijing to explain to the saint what he had learned after his arrival.
When Gu Yunjin came back, Jiang Muyuan was not in the house, she looked outside and saw the shocking rain: "What about the little grandfather?" ”
Shocked Yu said: "After the little grandfather finished writing the excerpt, he went to the adult again." ”
Gu Yunjin understood, entered the house by himself, did not ask Nian Xia to serve, added a cup of hot tea, and took a miscellaneous book of the northern realm from the bookshelf.
The place that Xiang Wei found for them was quite spacious, and there were very few furnishings in the room, but there were shelves of books, most of which were military books, and some people and landscapes from the north.
Gu Yunjin just lit the candle flame and looked at it page by page, and couldn't help but be in a trance, and didn't raise his head until Jiang Muyuan came back.
Most of the candles were burned.
Jiang Muyuan leaned behind Gu Yunjin, glanced at the book, and said, "Why do you look at this?" ”
Gu Yunjin put the book behind him, looked up and said, "I'm thinking now, in addition to the script, maybe I should try to read more local chronicles, or read some military books." ”
Jiang Muyuan raised his eyebrows: "Why did you suddenly think of this stubble?" ”
"What I thought of when I heard Lord Xiang talk about the situation in the north," Gu Yunjin explained, "I can understand some of it, but I can't understand it all, and I thought at that time, if I read more military books, I would be able to understand one or two more." I'm not trying to talk about it on paper, I just want to know how to deal with it right now, how to turn around. ”
After Jiang Muyuan listened, he bent his eyes and smiled.
It is precisely because Gu Yunjin thinks of the northern realm and this territory in his heart that he naturally has such a thought.
"Even if it's a paper talk, you have to be familiar with military books," Jiang Muyuan rubbed Gu Yunjin's forehead and said, "After returning to Beijing, I'll pick a few simple ones for you, you look at it first, if you don't understand, just ask me." ”
Gu Yunjin bowed his head.
She knew that Jiang Muyuan had a lot of books, including a large number of military books, which she had seen when she was tidying up the house, and after a brief glance, she put them down.
One is relatively obscure, and the other is that there were a lot of things to do in the days of marriage, and she didn't have time to find something else to do.
Before she could be free, she learned about the battle situation in the Northland, so she could only hurry there.
However, if she hadn't had this encounter, she would have flipped through the books of war or chronicles, all of them were the same as the scripts, just to pass the time, and now, she really wanted to know more.
I want to know more about the landscapes and people of this land in the north, and I want to know more about how much their Gu family has paid here and how much they have gained.
Because he had to continue to rush to the north on the second day, Gu Yunjin fell asleep early.
After rushing for more than ten years in a row, they did not pay attention to accommodation and food along the way, and this night was the best day for their group to rest after setting off from the capital.
Gu Yunjin didn't fall asleep, she leaned on Jiang Muyuan's arms and sighed: "This is about homesickness." ”
Jiang Muyuan smiled.
Gu Yunjin said again: "I haven't seen Brother Dong and Brother Mian, I don't know if I can recognize them at a glance when I meet a few sisters." ”
Jiang Muyuan said: "It is said that the eighteen changes of women's colleges, it is common not to recognize them, and they may not recognize you." ”
"It's my own sister, maybe I can have a good heart," Gu Yunjin continued, but his voice added a little sleepy softness, "It's like Yun Miao, I recognized her at a glance in my dream, she has changed a lot, and she is very similar to when she was a child......
This sounds very contradictory, but perhaps only your own family understands the meaning of "changed and very similar".
Jiang Muyuan heard the sleepiness in Gu Yunjin's voice, and went down her back again and again, and said in a suppressed voice: "I'll look for her tomorrow, I will look for her ......"
Gu Yunjin replied in a low voice, and then, only shallow breathing remained.
Before dawn the next day, Gu Yunjin was called up by Jiang Muyuan, hurriedly freshened up, had breakfast, and then set off for Guanwai.
During the war, when a large number of people were pouring into the pass, their group went in the opposite direction, attracting many people near the pass.
Out of Yumen Pass, all the way to the northwest.
Along the way, there were many people who dragged their families to the Guannei, some of whom were not from the North, but they were all shocked by the Di people stationed in Hecheng, worried that the Di people would plunder their town, so they simply took refuge in Yumen Pass.
The horses galloped until they saw the Northland city in the distance.
Gu Yunyan reined in his horse, tilted his head, and looked at it from afar.
The city wall is still the city wall in memory, but the military flag of the Gu family can no longer be found on it, and the word "Gu" that is blowing in the wind is no longer there.
The military flag is the soul, and if the soul is lost, it is more uncomfortable than losing one's life.
Rao was prepared, and after entering the Northland, everyone was still shocked by the scene in front of them.
The house collapsed, and there were traces of the fire everywhere, and there were many corpses of soldiers by the wall, so that the heavy snow in the middle of the moon covered most of the body, and only a part was exposed, and at a glance, not a single living person could be found, only such an empty city remained.
This is no longer the northern land they are familiar with, Rao is a person like Gu Yunyan who was born, raised and lived in the northern land for more than 20 years, and for a while, he can't completely tell where it is.
It's terrifyingly strange, but this is their homeland.
Holding back tears, relying only on memory, Gu Yunyan led the way and led the horse to the direction of the General's Mansion.
"There......" Gu Yunxi pointed to a relatively empty place, "That's the school grounds, right?" ”
Gu Yunyan stepped forward, squatted down and touched the stone pedestals of the three flagpoles, and nodded heavily.
Gu Yunjin looked to the east side, if this was the school field, then the east side was the General's Mansion, and there was a ruined wall.
She sniffed the tip of her nose: "Grandmother and Yun Miao, are they still underneath?" Waiting for us to find them......"
