Chapter 199: Winter
Lu Yao fell down from the war horse, gritted his teeth and stood up, and staggered to Jiang Yu.
"Master, in addition to the soldiers of the Western Regions, there is another force that surrounds us. At present, the abdomen is under the enemy, and there is no way out. Lu Yao arched his hand, his face showing perseverance: "The subordinates can lead the guards to fight a bloody road, please go first." ”
Jiang Yu saw that he was covered with injuries all over his body, but his expression never loosened at all, and his heart tightened slightly: "It's not the first day that you have served by my side." Why should I hide? ”
"But master, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood. You don't have to leave behind to take risks. Originally, Madame and you had planned to retreat. The current situation is uncertain, we can't afford to die, and please think twice. Lu Yao deliberately mentioned Gan Peilin, hoping that the master would think of her and nod as soon as possible.
"It's true that the plan is to retreat, but it's not a desert escape." Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "No need to say it again." ”
"Master......"
Jiang Yu raised his right hand and motioned for him to be silenced. At this time, a man in green clothes walked in quickly.
"Master, get it." His eyebrows were cold and his eyes were sharp: "Do you want to bring it in now?" ”
With a slight bow, Jiang Yu had been waiting for a long time.
The man in Tsing Yi snapped his fingers, and two men in slightly light-colored Tsing Yi slipped in and two captives who were tied up by flowers.
"Master, what is this?" Lu Yao was confused.
"Huo Qing, I don't have much patience." Jiang Yu only said this to the man in Tsing Yi.
Huo ...... Huo Qing? Lu Yao couldn't help but shudder. I heard that there is such a person in the rivers and lakes, leading a gang, who is elusive and kills people invisibly, but I didn't expect that he was also the master's person.
"Yes." Huo Qing made a look, and the cloth in the mouths of the two captives was taken off one by one. "The master is impatient, so I don't ask much. Who are you, the first to tell the truth can live. ”
Both of them snorted, and neither of them would give in.
Huo Qing flicked his fingers slightly, and the speed was so fast that he didn't even see Lu Yao clearly, and the two of them lost one ear and squeaked in pain.
"If you don't say anything, it's okay, cut off everything you can and feed the wolves."
As a result, the two of them still only cared about screaming in pain.
The two men in light-colored Tsing Yi raised their knives and each chopped off one of the captives' arms.
The people in the room, looking at the two captives who couldn't survive but couldn't die, didn't change their faces.
"Forget it." Jiang Yu didn't have much interest in looking down: "Hey the wolf." ”
"Yes." Huo Qing nodded.
Seeing the blade swing again, one of them stared in horror and begged for mercy: "The Governor of the Metropolitan ...... spare his life."
Jiang Yu raised his hand to signal a pause, and looked at the man with cold eyes: "You know the governor of Pontus, it should be the person from Xuancheng, the king of Shengqing." ”
As soon as these words came out, the man prostrated himself to the ground with difficulty.
At this moment, another person was neatly killed by the light-colored Tsing Yi.
"Tell me, where is that rebel hiding now?" Huo Qing asked for his master.
"In ...... West. The man spoke with difficulty.
"Master, Xuancheng is teaming up with the West to want your life." Lu Yao trembled angrily: "I should have dug three feet into the ground to dig him out." Where can he live until now? ”
"How many of you came?" Huo Qing asked again.
"Five thousand." The man said truthfully.
"This is the last soldier and horse in Xuancheng?" Huo Qing's tone was slightly cold: "It shouldn't be that you didn't tell the truth, right?" ”
"The little ones don't dare to hide it. King Shengqing originally only brought more than a dozen followers, and he summoned these 5,000 soldiers and horses all the way to the west. The captive's face turned pale in pain: "He said...... He said......"
"Be careful." Huo Qing dodged and blocked Jiang Yu behind him. The two Tsing Yi men reacted quickly and threw the man out.
Maybe before he hit the ground, the man blew himself up like a cannonball.
Tsing Yi's men hurriedly searched for the corpse of another person, and sure enough, he had the same thing on him.
"How can this thing blow up? He was clearly tied hand and foot. Lu Yao asked puzzled.
"Rubbing repeatedly." Huo Qing raised his eyebrows: "As long as you wear through this layer of tissue paper on the outside, there is phosphorus powder on the inside." ”
"Let's throw it out." Lu Yao was seriously injured and physically exhausted, and before he could speak, he fell to the ground.
Huo Qing couldn't help frowning: "Master, let's let Huo Qing stay by your side." ”
"Not necessarily." Jiang Yu's tone was full of confidence: "I want you to go and get Xuancheng's head back." ”
"Isn't the master worried that the emperor will use this reason to deal with you?" Although Huo Qing is not involved in the affairs of the DPRK and China, he can also see it thoroughly.
"I'm useful." Jiang Yu was going to give this gift to the person sent by the Emperor to receive him. I just don't know who this person will be.
"Subordinates obey." Huo Qing didn't say anything more and retreated.
As soon as he went out, the guards came in. "Governor, I just received a message from the flying pigeon."
Jiang Yu took the letterhead and looked at it carefully with open eyes.
This is a letterhead from the secret post that is protecting Gan Peilin's side.
After reading it, Jiang Yu felt a little unsure: "Come on, take Lu Yao down to heal." ”
At this time, there were many things in Ganfu, and she struggled to support it alone. It's just that the Ao family's side is not very peaceful. However, she stabbed Ao Xuan, is it enough to show that she only hates Ao Xuan?
Being so far away, Jiang Yu was really worried about her.
is also in a bad mood, as well as Wu Wei.
After seeing Gan Peilin, he ran to the west non-stop. There is only one purpose, to pluck Jiang Yu's head with his own hands. Once Jiang Yu didn't exist, she didn't have to marry him.
Thinking like this, Wu Wei threw his horsewhip vigorously, and it was extremely difficult for his entourage to follow, and he almost couldn't catch up with him.
In the following days, Gan Peilin was very busy.
first sent Mrs. Gan out of the house to the nunnery, and then began to arrange for the Zen Heart Temple to be completely renovated. Feeding and discharging, time and labor, in short, can not disturb the quiet of the house, affect the normal life of the female dependents, and can not progress too slowly, after all, it is winter, the Spring Festival is coming, and the house has to prepare for other things.
In addition, Gan Peilin also has to take care of Yu Ze's daily life, and the local Mo Yanqing will take action again.
It's rare to be idle, she sometimes thinks of Jiang Yu, and she doesn't know how the border battle in the west is. But he knew about Ao Yu's expedition. After all, Ao Changfeng still values this sister-in-law more.
As for Ao Xuan, it seems that he was sent elsewhere by the emperor, but Gan Peilin only asked Chen Rui to inquire, but he didn't want to know.
This busy, winter is really coming.
The first snow of the winter was in the early morning of one day.
Gan Peilin got up as usual and pushed open the window lattice, only to find that it was snowing outside the window.
"Crispy core, Rulan, come and see, it's snowing." Gan Peilin stretched out his hand out of the window to pick up the snowflakes of different shapes, happy like a child.
Crispy Core led people in to serve and freshen up, and also followed the joy.
Rulan prepared a sumptuous breakfast and summoned the swallows to come in and choose accessories for the eldest lady.
It's also strange to say, but all the swallows can fancy are sent by the Metropolitan Governor. It is especially suitable for the eldest lady to wear.
There is no need to go to the grandmother's room to say goodbye, Gan Peilin's morning is extraordinarily leisurely.
At this time, her father had already gone to the court, and she ate the steaming crystal bag, drank a sip of sweet eight treasures, and watched the snow by the window lattice.
When Chen Rui came over, he stood outside the window and spoke: "Miss." ”
"What's wrong?" Gan Peilin saw that his face was not quite right, and the silk wiped the corners of his lips.
"The good news has been sent to the palace." Chen Rui said truthfully: "The battle of the western part of the capital was won, and the enemy army retreated fifty miles and sent envoys into the court to sue for peace. I'm afraid the border war is going to be put on hold. In addition, the son of the Ao family intercepted and killed the rebellious King Shengqing, and he would be able to reach the imperial city in half a month. ”
"What do you say? Ao Yu killed King Shengqing? Gan Peilin weighed this matter, and felt strange. Did he kill King Shengqing? ”
"That's how the news came in, but whether that's the case or not, it's unknown." Chen Rui wrinkled his brows and said: "It's just that I didn't expect the border war in the west to end so soon, and when the metropolitan governor comes back, Bacheng will start preparing for the marriage with the eldest lady......
Crisp Core walked over and glared at him: "Isn't it a matter of time, since it's a happy event, what is there to worry about." ”
Chen Rui nodded, but did not make a sound.
"It doesn't matter." Gan Peilin himself doesn't care about this. She suddenly wanted to visit Princess Qingning. "Can you find a way to arrange for me to go to the Shengqing Palace?"
"The eldest lady is going to see the princess?" Chen Rui's eyebrows tightened: "The slave feels that there is no need for this. After all, the princess is a hostage in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor will not let her have an accident. ”
"At the beginning, it was my selfishness after all." Gan Peilin felt a little guilty. In the previous life, Princess Qingning liked King Shengqing so much, but she couldn't get close. She thought that by facilitating this marriage, she could at least fulfill her wish. I didn't expect the fate between them to be so short.
"Miss, it's better to have more than one thing right now." Chen Rui still thinks it's safer not to meet.
"Hmm." Gan Peilin nodded: "I'm a little emotional." You're right. I shouldn't get into trouble anymore. ”
Chen Rui changed his head at the right time: "Miss, there is one more thing." Just got the news. It's about the old lady. ”
His opening remarks were a little verbose, and Gan Peilin vaguely felt that there was a story: "There is something wrong with my grandmother." ”
"Last night, the old lady took Ju Ruo down the mountain." Chen Rui said with a solemn expression: "They went to the thatched hut of the divine doctor. ”
"The Doctor's Hut?" Gan Peilin was stunned: "You mean the miracle doctor that Wu Wei knows?" ”
"Yes." Chen Rui nodded: "That's where you've been." ”
"What are you doing there in the middle of the night?" Gan Peilin was suspicious: "Could it be that my grandmother is unwell?" Then there should be no need to hide this matter from the people in the middle of the night. What's more, the government has not received any news at all. ”
"The strangest thing is...... The minions have lost the man. "Chen Rui has not been in a good mood because of this." The eldest lady told the slave to be cautious, but she didn't expect to lose it. ”
Gan Peilin really felt strange. "It's impossible for grandmother to have anything to do with Wu Wei. Could it be that Wu took his grandmother away for him? ”
"This won't." Chen Rui said with certainty: "Wu Gongzi is no longer in the imperial city. ”
"You don't have to look around, just wait near the nunnery." Gan Peilin was a little confused, whether this was his grandmother's own loss, or whether someone else intervened. "Let's wait and see what happens."
