Chapter Twenty-Seven: War at the Border Pass
At this time, in the palace, Gu Pan, who was originally a party to the party, was secretly concealed, and was having a banquet with King Jin, who was tired of eight horses overnight.
The emperor sat in the middle of the two people and felt unprecedented pressure, and at this time, the king of Jin was immersed in the pleasure of talking with his own daughter, whom he had not seen for many years.
"Pan'er, do you have a sweetheart? When I came back this time, I saw that this young man in Kyoto did not have the spirit of the young man of my jade clearance! ”
Gu Pan glanced at King Jin and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "For the time being, I haven't had a sweetheart, and I'm not in a hurry to choose a son-in-law!" ”
At this time, the emperor didn't dare to say a word in it, after all, he didn't tell Gu Pan about the causes and consequences of this matter, for fear that he didn't say what he said correctly, so that King Jin, who was already angry, told Gu Pan everything about the matter.
Therefore, it is better for him to be cautious in his words and deeds.
On the way to eat a few people, this Gu Ling hurriedly entered the palace with a few old ministers, handed over the order and asked to meet the emperor.
"It's Gu Ling, this kid again!" When King Jin heard Gu Ling's name, his face turned dark, and he silently took a sip of wine, and the emperor at this time smiled and said: "Brother eat some more, I will go and see it first, after all, Ling'er is now in charge of the defense and military here, and there must be no delay!" ”
As he spoke, he went to the front hall to see what Gu Ling was doing, and brought the old minister into the palace at such a moment.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw that the kneeling people in this hall were a few old ministers from the border, and they had not met for more than ten years since they were sent out.
Seeing the emperor walk in, they all fell to their knees with tears in their eyes.
"Ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
The voice is deep and echoing, the whole hall is full of sound, when they left, they were all young and high-spirited, with the idea of guarding the border for Da Yu Town, and finally settled at the border pass.
However, when they met again now, they were all the same age, but these people looked much older than the emperor, and only nine of the fifteen ministers sent in the past were now left.
"Hurry up, why are you all here, old brothers!"
Saying that, the emperor's tears also flowed down, and there were only these few people who followed him back then, plus one Chu Ying, who is now old and dying, but he still stands on his post for the sake of Da Yu's children and grandchildren, and he does not dare to relax.
How dare he let these old ministers kneel down and worship him, and after helping them up one by one, Gu Ling said sharply: "Your Majesty, the four princes of An Chu Kingdom have united the four small countries of the Western Regions to attack the four checkpoints of our country's border gates!" ”
"Attack? Why is there no warning notice? ”
The emperor was shocked and hurriedly asked, and at this time, Gu Ling was even more angry, pointing to several old ministers and saying: "That fourth prince Wuqi is a despicable villain, he sent people to infiltrate our border pass, assassinated the family members of several old ministers, several old ministers were trapped in their own family background and the worries of the people and had no time to take care of it, seeing that the war was urgent, several old ministers went to Beijing to ask for guilt, and the sons have sent the nearest army to support!" ”
"Heh, what a small country in Anchu, I don't think they want to live anymore! Someone summoned Chu Ying and the four major generals and entered the palace immediately! ”
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately sent someone to inform Chu Ying and the others.
At this time, Chu Ying had just finished patrolling the major camps, and before he took off his armor at home, he was called to the palace by a fast horse.
Chu You saw the eunuch's eyes and knew that this matter must not be simple, walked up and handed Chu Ying a cup of green plum juice and said, "Take a sip, I haven't rested enough just now!" ”
Chu Ying hurriedly took a sip and got on the horse and entered the palace.
This Chu Mu saw that his father left without even entering the house, and hurriedly followed out, took a look and asked, "Father was called into the palace again?" ”
After finishing speaking, Chu You said a little worriedly: "Your father is afraid that he is going to lead the troops again, I have a hunch, go and order your subordinates to prepare their bags, so as not to have time to rush to the battlefield when the time comes!" ”
"Well, I'll give orders!"
Chu Mu told people to pack their bags, and then followed with Chu Ying's clothes.
Chu Ying has developed a habit of fighting for many years, and all the clothes suitable for taking out of the expedition are placed in a separate cabinet, and the clothes in that cabinet often have a lot of other people's clothes, those are the close-fitting clothes of the generals who died in order to protect Chu Ying over the years, Chu Ying brought them back one by one, and supported their parents.
Chu Mu had heard his father talk about this before, but now that he saw so many clothes, he suddenly had some tears in his eyes.
"Miss, don't cry, leisurely is from the battlefield to survive nine deaths, these generals are not easy, every day you eat you can smell the smell of corrosion on this battlefield, hey, the lord has to go out at this age, leisurely listening to a little worried!"
Chu Mu pushed it and leisurely picked up a piece of clothing and threw it over, and said with a smile: "My father has led the troops to fight for decades, and he will definitely return safely!" ”
Saying that, she silently saw a very small piece of clothing, took it out and looked at it, and suddenly saw the word Chu Mu written on the collar on it!
She suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she had said that when she was an adult, she would go out with the army to fight with her father.
At that time, Chu Ying couldn't laugh when she heard it, so she promised Chu Mu to make her a battle suit, and she really took her there one day, but then she never saw Chu Ying give her this dress.
Now it seems that my father took that sentence seriously, and she pulled out all the clothes and let her send them to her room.
"Miss, what is this, and why is your name written on it?"
"This is my battle suit, and you Miss I will also follow my father to the battlefield to fight!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly laughed out loud when she saw Youran at this time, pointed at Chu Mu and said, "Miss, how can a girl lead the troops to the battle, isn't this a joke?" ”
Saying that, Chu Mu was also a little gloomy, yes, if she followed her father on the expedition, if someone found out, it would be a big crime, and she wouldn't dare to think about it, so she could only quietly help her father pack up her things.
After packing up her things, she thought about putting the amulet that Chu You asked for her a few days ago in her bag, and only hoped that her father could finish the fight as soon as possible this time, and then return safely.
At this moment, the sound of Lu Sheng's screaming sounded outside the house.
"The general has already led the troops to the battle, let me get some clothes and wound medicine or something!"
Saying that, Chu Mu walked out with his bag and handed it to Lu Sheng, and asked, "How can it be so fast, and he hasn't even come back home!" ”
"Miss, you don't know that the murderer of Anchu Wuqi led his subordinates to slaughter people in a city outside the border of our country, originally the emperor was the general came back to clean up, who knew that the general heard that his colleague a founding minister and a family of four were killed, and after beheading the public, he came in anger and immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses and traveled."
"My brother has never been reckless, isn't it easy to fall for the other party's plan to send troops like this?"
However, now Chu Ying has gone, and he can't be called back.
