"Hecheng saw that it was about to be lost, so I could only flee to the southeast with my eldest uncle, but unfortunately I was unable to do so and fell outside Xingli Village......" Gu Yunkang said.

He said it very simply, but everyone knew that behind these words, there was a sword and a sword fight.

Facing Di Ren who was guarding Gu Zhiyuan's body alone, Gu Yunkang took the lead and seized the opportunity, but after all, he was a flesh and blood person, and his two fists were difficult to defeat with four hands, and it was very difficult to kill.

Recalling it at this time, Gu Yunkang couldn't tell what he was thinking at that time, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, he couldn't let his eldest uncle fall into the hands of Di Ren.

He fought his way out.

With countless scars on his chest and back, he snatched Gu Zhiyuan's body back.

But ahead was the mountain pass where he screamed and killed, and he had nowhere to go but to ride his horse back and forth.

I lost so much blood that I couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed.

Gu Yunqian frowned, he thought, the injuries on Gu Yunkang's face were all left at that time.

Because of the Battle of Hecheng, all the villagers in Xingli escaped.

Small village, there are not a few living people in sight.

The two old men who stayed behind trembled and beat him with sticks.

It was also Gu Yunkang's fate, and he was hit with a stick, not a knife or a gun, otherwise, there would be no breath left.

He shouted at the old man in a daze, saying that he was a soldier of the imperial court, and he would only dress up like this when he was a scout.

The old man listened to him fluently in Chinese, and after hesitating, he did not kill him, but he ignored him and left him to fend for himself.

Gu Yunkang fainted in the snow for a few hours, and when he woke up again, it was already getting dark.

He gritted his teeth and treated the wound briefly, then found a flat place on the edge of the village, dug a pit and buried Gu Zhiyuan.

Seeing that he was burying the body, the old people came over and took a hand and asked him, "Which general is this?" ”

Gu Yunkang shook his head and didn't say anything, when he sorted out Gu Zhiyuan's remains, he took off the jade pendant that was so broken that only the tiger's head was left, and hung it around his neck.

The old man found some food for him.

Gu Yunkang originally planned to recuperate for two days and then rush to Yumen Pass, but he never thought that after the Di people garrisoned Hecheng, they sent soldiers to grab food nearby for several days, and it was also thanks to the fact that there was a cellar in this Xingli village, so they were asked to hide.

"At that time, I thought that instead of going back to Yumen, it would be better for me to sneak into Hecheng," Gu Yunkang said, "Maybe it can help when the imperial court sends troops." ”

Gu Yunkang thought about it and did it, blended in with the Di people who were robbing food, and successfully entered the city.

He could speak Di language, and he made up his identity, and it happened that Beidi reinforcements came from the grassland, and the two sides merged, and it was not a matter of having a few fresh faces.

Besides, his face was ruined, and he was better at concealing it.

In the past two months, in addition to recuperating from his injuries, Gu Yunkang has gotten a lot of news from the gossip of the Di soldiers.

He knew that the imperial court had sent troops to Yumen Pass, and that his brothers who had gone to the capital had returned to the north, but his news could not be delivered.

When Jiang Muyuan entered the Shankou Pass, the two armies clashed from time to time, and the battle was either under the pass or outside the city, Gu Yunkang, as the defender of Hecheng, could only be anxious in the city, but he couldn't get out.

To this day, he knew the strategy of the Di people, and knew that the soldiers of the court must not enter the city, so he rushed out with the Di people who were bait after the city gate was opened, and desperately searched for someone who could communicate in the crowd.

Gu Yunkang's original intention was to directly find the general who led the troops, and under the battle flag, he could always find someone, even if it took a lot of effort to persuade the other party and gain trust, but he had to do it.

Maybe it was fate that Gu Yunkang discovered Gu Yunqian, and then there was something after.

The battle under the mountain pass has also ended, Xiang Wei led the people back to the camp, and the Gu family brothers who rushed to reinforce also led the troops back.

Hearing that Gu Yunkang was found, the Gu brothers rushed to the outside of the military doctor's tent.

The two sides looked at each other, not to mention Gu Yunqi, who hadn't seen Gu Yunkang for many years, even Gu Yunyan and Gu Yunxi were stunned.

The scars on his face are terrible, but those eyes are still so familiar.

"You ......" Gu Yunyan choked up for a while.

And Gu Yunkang didn't wait for him to finish, and handed over the tiger head.

Gu Yunyan took it, just glanced at it, and his hands trembled uncontrollably: "This is my father's ......"

Gu Yunxi also looked at it when he heard this, and immediately turned red: "It's that Jade Tiger......

He remembered that his father liked this accessory very much, and always played with it in his hand, and his father wanted to be a tiger in the northern land, and choked the throat of the Di people, so as not to let them go south to invade the border.

But now, my father is gone, and the jade tiger is broken......

Gu Yunkang said again about Gu Zhiyuan's burial place.

Gu Yunyan held the broken jade and nodded heavily: "I know Xingli, I went to pick up my father and found the real body, and Di Ren can't use fake ones to deceive and threaten." ”

Previously, even if the Gu family insisted that Gu Zhiyuan's body was not in the hands of the Di people, it was inevitable that there were some thoughts among the soldiers.

Now, if you can find your true body, all lies can be shattered.

Gu Yunyan and Gu Yunxi ordered manpower, and rushed to the small village while the Di people were cleaning up the battle situation.

No matter how small the village is, there are dozens of rooms, and after more than two months, the snow is layered on top of each other, and they can't find it for a while just by relying on Gu Yunkang's narration.

Hearing the movement, a bold villager old man came out, saw that it was his own soldier, and asked aloud: "What are the generals looking for?" ”

Gu Yunyan said: "On the day the city was broken, a young man dressed as a Di man buried a body in the village......

"It's buried," the old man led them to the place, "it's about this one." ”

The two brothers of the Gu family took people to work together, picked up the thick snow, found a piece of land that had been turned over, and dug it up little by little, revealing the appearance inside.

After a long time, it was directly buried in the soil, and even if it was covered with snow, it was already unrecognizable.

Only the familiar armor stained with blood revealed the identity of the remains.

Gu Yunyan and Gu Yunxi knelt aside, holding back tears but couldn't help it, kowtowed three times, and then wrapped Gu Zhiyuan with a cloth.

Gu Yunxi took the rope and tied the cloth bag behind Gu Yunyan.

The old man watched their movements and asked, "Which general is this?" ”

Gu Yunyan choked up and said, "This is General Gu." ”

The old man's body shook.

The common people do not understand the affairs of the army, as long as they are the leaders of the troops, whether they are generals, deputy generals, generals, or vanguards, they will be collectively called generals.

But in the northern realm, there is only one who can be called General Gu.

"What about the person who buried General Gu at that time...... the old man said in a trembling voice, "he said he was a scout...... He's not a Di person, is he? If the Di people didn't care about the general......"

"It's not Di Ren," Gu Yunyan took a deep breath and said, "It's my Gu family's son." ”
