Chapter 41: Disdain to hide behind her back
"If I can't go any further on that bamboo slip, or think of something else, I'll have to be killed." Guan Kuo thought so.
His hands were chained all over his body, and he was dragged with shackles behind him, and after so many days of long journey, coupled with the fact that he had not been able to move much, he had only walked a short distance, and he was already a little short of breath.
On the high ground in the distance, there stood a general with two ridiculous mustaches, his eyes were so small that people always had a feeling that they couldn't open them, but in fact, his eyes were so small.
Although his eyes are small, his eyes are extremely flexible, and from a long distance, his gaze poked towards this side, Guan Kuo felt that in that short glance, everyone on his side seemed to be in the eyes of the general, he couldn't help but be a little shocked, thinking that people who often experience war are different.
The commander who had escorted them, with the same steady pace as ever, walked at the front, toward the high ground.
The small-eyed general walked over and patted him on the shoulder, looking extremely familiar, and he said a little unconcernedly: "How many more people are coming to die?" ”
From his tone, it can be heard that these prisoners who have been filled with the army basically have no chance of survival.
Guan Kuo was a little awe-inspiring, he subconsciously looked at Tie Shanwu again, wanting to find some comfort, and saw that the other party really did not have the slightest change in any movements, and it seemed that he had not heard such words at all.
"There's a thief's son here." The commander who was escorting the prisoner glanced back at Guan Kuo and said.
Guan Kuo listened to them say "Guan Lao Thief", and didn't care about his own intentions at all, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, secretly exhaled, and gradually calmed down.
He didn't feel that his father had done anything hurtful, and he also felt that he hadn't made any mistakes, but he had to bear the gazes imposed by others, but, just like Tie Shan Wu said, it's good to live, live well first, and then you can think about it and do other things.
The small-eyed general sneered and said, "Here, no matter who he used to be, even if it was Zhongshu Ling himself, he would only be sent to death." ”
Guan Kuo once again reminded himself that he didn't need a glass heart, although they were talking about their father, it was not a deliberate humiliation.
He clenched his fists and let go.
The escort commander groaned for a moment, then stepped forward, not knowing what he whispered.
The sunlight sprinkled on the armor of the two of them, and there was such a clear smell.
On all sides, because of the heavy brick walls, the spring breeze has become less easy to penetrate.
Guan Kuo saw that the expression of the small-eyed general changed very quickly, and at the same time glanced at himself several times, and a deep disbelief gradually appeared on his face.
"Really! How is this possible!? After the escort commander finished speaking, the small-eyed general couldn't help but exclaim, although he tried his best to suppress it, but it was obvious that he could hear the two paragraphs of "really" and "how is this possible", both with a very strong exclamation mark.
When he learned that there were so many more prisoners who were sent to death, he didn't care, because every year, there were too many people who were so insignificant, and when he learned that Guan Kuo was the son of Guan Qinghe, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, because, Zhongshu Ling Guan Qinghe, no matter how everyone felt about him, had to admit that in the past, it was a figure that most people in the Northern Tang Dynasty were in awe.
However, Guan Qinghe is dead after all, and the housekeeper is over, so Guan Qinghe can only let him take care of Guan Kuo a few more times.
However, what the escort commander said next couldn't help but shock him and couldn't believe it.
Her Royal Highness the princess actually put down her daughter in front of tens of millions of Chang'an people, all the prisoners and the escort soldiers, did not sit in a sedan chair, and personally saw off the guy who seemed to have nothing special!?
He had heard of the marriage between Princess Guangle and Guan Kuo, and he was as resentful as everyone else, and he firmly believed that Princess Guangle Li Xiyun's resentment towards Guan Kuo would not be under his own people, but what the colleague he was very familiar with on the other side said completely subverted his three views: Why did Princess Guangle do this, see off Guan Kuo in person and on foot, could it be that after only one night, the two of them had true love?
They are not Li Xiyun, nor are they Guan Kuo, Li Xiyun's meaning is probably only understood by a few people, so this earth-shattering thing, in the eyes of others, can only be this reason.
If there was no relationship with Li Xiyun, he would be willing to send Guan Kuo out to work and die immediately, or die in battle, but after hearing the words of the escort commander, he hesitated a little, if Li Xiyun really had that kind of meaning to Guan Kuo, Guan Kuo died like this, wouldn't something happen to him?
He may not be afraid that Li Xiyun will oppress people with power, but he is unwilling to disobey the princess's wishes, because the arrogant phoenix has always been a person that everyone admires.
He looked at the commander and said, "Your Royal Highness...... Did you bring anything with you? ”
He subconsciously glanced at Guan Kuo again, he really couldn't see anything attractive, and couldn't help but be depressed, thinking to himself What happened to Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes?
The Escort Commander shook his head.
He stepped forward and spoke in a whisper, recalling as many details as possible from that time, and describing them, and the two of them judged them.
"In this way, it shouldn't be what we think," the small-eyed general finally said, "As Her Royal Highness the Princess, as long as she says a word, the entire Datang will consider letting go of that guy's life, instead of being kicked out of Chang'an, even if it is because of some things, Her Royal Highness the Princess can't bear to cut her love, and there should always be some words, at least you can't make that kid die casually, but now, ......"
He paused.
"I think it's probably just Her Royal Highness the princess who is kind-hearted."
Listening to their words, Guan Kuo was very uncomfortable, because he could feel what they meant: he could only hide behind the woman, waiting for Princess Guangle to show kindness, and then he would be able to get benefits and get different treatment from others?
That kind of naked contempt, he was very unhappy to accept.
He suddenly remembered what Li Xiyun said that night: The way you are now, you finally have one ten-thousandth of the momentum that my horse captain should have.
A hint of annoyance flashed across his face at the thought of this.
