Chapter 41: Not Saving People
"Is it him?"
Gu Yan really didn't expect that the person who made Yuqingguan look like this was Gu Yu.
It can be seen that the sons of their father and emperor have a natural ability to act, and it is really difficult to take into account that they have been acting for many years before.
He put the letter on the candle and slowly looked at the burning paper, inexplicably full of interest in this chess game.
"I like the feeling of meeting opponents in chess, but I don't like the surprise in this kind of scare!"
Gu Yan said and blew out the candle......
Jade clearance!
Gu Lang took his subordinates along the Yuqing Pass to clean up the mess, and at this time he didn't know that his father had been taken into custody.
After all, he had not participated in the whole process of this incident, and he knew very little about it.
It's just that when I see the people who died tragically, I always wonder if I could have come back earlier, whether this would not be the result.
However, there is no so-called regret medicine to try, and he cleaned up the mess, and at this time, the envoy of the imperial court slowly arrived outside the Yuqing Pass.
Maybe he didn't expect that the battle situation in Yuqingguan was so tragic, and the envoy still felt a little disgusted for a moment when he was full of corpses.
"What is this messenger here to inform?"
When Gu Lang saw the person coming, he hurriedly came over and asked, and the messenger at this time covered his mouth and nose, and asked with disgust: "It's not Your Highness, can you find a decent place to talk again, the smell here is too big!" β
After finishing speaking, Gu Lang sneered, shook his head, and took his guards to continue to search for the corpses of the soldiers and bury them.
The envoy asked several times, but Gu Lang didn't pay attention to it until he finally heard it......
"Isn't His Highness interested in the arrest of King Jin's family, or doesn't know about it?"
As the envoy spoke, Gu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then replied indifferently: "This is not a surprising thing, is the envoy here today to announce the order to take me into custody?" β
After saying that, he explained a few words to his guards, and then walked over, without any change in his face during the whole process, as if this had not happened to him.
At this time, the envoy hurriedly explained: "No, the emperor has a secret letter to entrust to His Royal Highness, and in addition, the King of Jin also has a message to pass on to you!" β
"Then you say it, I can't find a more suitable location for you, these soldiers have been here for one night, I have to put them into the ground as soon as possible, it can be regarded as the last trace of respect, please understand!"
After speaking, he rummaged through the names embroidered on each soldier that could prove his identity, some of which had been cut so that he could not see it, and some of which were already covered with blood and could not be seen.
He tried his best to help find them one by one, and put them one by one with white cloths, and at the same time, he also found out the group of troops under Gu Yan who had sacrificed here one by one.
When the envoy saw the appearance of this corridor, he was afraid that he would not be able to help him find a suitable position, so he handed him the emperor's secret letter first.
And King Jin's message was only one sentence, asking him to do his best to save his eldest brother Gu Cheng.
When he heard this, his face, which had not changed at first, suddenly darkened a little, and he said silently, he understood, and the messenger left without stopping.
At this time, Gu Lang was still holding his head down to clean up the corpses on the ground, and occasionally the guards next to him would hear Gu Lang say to himself: "Why did I save him, why is it always me!" β
However, several of the guards understood the reason, so they did not speak.
There are not many heirs of this Jin prince, but he prefers this eldest son, and allows the eldest son to wreak havoc in this Yuqing Pass, Gu Lang's previous fiancΓ©e, because she was insulted by her eldest son Gu Cheng, committed suicide, but no one made Gu Lang's decision.
It is simply a thorn in Gu Lang's heart, a deep thorn in his heart, but he is still polite to his brother and filial piety to his father, which may be something that he can't change in his bones.
"Back to Your Highness, all the people have been counted, do you have any other arrangements?"
Gu Lang shook his head, dropped a torch, cremated all the corpses, and returned their relics to their relatives.
The more the fire burned, the more uncomfortable his heart was as if he was being burned by this fire, but there was no one to confide in, and he was depressed.
When it was time to go back, his lady Su'er was waiting at the door.
When I saw him arrive, I happily came to pick him up, and asked in a low and gentle voice, "Is everything handled?" β
He nodded and said to Su'er, "Prepare a good horse and a pot of good wine for me as soon as possible!" β
"Are you going to Xianyuan Villa to find Brother Gu?"
As he spoke, Gu Lang nodded, he usually didn't have any friends, the only person who could speak was Gu Yan, and it just so happened that Chu Mu's body was about to be better, so he thought it was himself to bring a message to Gu Yan.
He went in and cleaned up for a while, and Su'er had already prepared everything and handed it to him, and he immediately went out.
I rushed all the way, and when I arrived at the place, it was almost evening, and this Changsheng prepared a table of dishes for Gu Yan.
Just as he was about to eat, he saw this Gu Lang walk in.
"When you come to me, there must be something, and you will bring me wine, so don't come in quickly!"
After finishing speaking, he pulled Gu Lang in, and after Changsheng helped them get their things, he silently retreated and closed the door.
Gu Lang put the wine down and said to him, "Don't you want to hear from me about Chu Mu's news?" β
Gu Yan snorted, spit out all the water he had just drunk, and said with a smile: "Listen, the main thing is whether her wound is healed!" β
At this time, Gu Lang poured wine and explained Chu Mu's situation in detail, Chu Mu's wounds began to slowly ease, but he didn't know what kind of poison he had been in.
Now the whole person has become like a man, especially the limbs are simply thick and muscular.
When he heard this, Gu Yan's eyes were full of worry, and he asked if there was any way to detoxify, but Gu Lang said that his wife didn't know either.
Because this poison is so strange that people don't know where to start.
"This Chu Mu is like this now, are you still willing to marry her?"
Saying that, Gu Lang's eyes did not change in the slightest when he looked at Gu Yan, Gu Yan smiled and said: "Marrying a wife is to live a lifetime with a companion, her youth or old has nothing to do with me, as long as she is Chu Mu!" β
Gu Lang knew about this matter, and he also knew Gu Yan's character, so he just said lightly: "I really hope that you can meet the love of your heart and marry a wife, instead of being forced to be helpless like me!" β
Hearing Gu Lang say that he was forced to be helpless, Gu Yan slapped it with one palm, and said angrily: "Su'er is very good, I know that someone in your heart still treats you wholeheartedly, cherish it!" Don't wait until one day she's gone and you'll regret it! β
When he heard this, Gu Lang smiled bitterly and said to Gu Yan: "Why do you say that I work so hard, but my father doesn't even want to love me more?" β
"So what? Because of the matter of jade clearance this time? β
"Yes, he asked me to save my brother-in-law!"
"Don't save it!"
After speaking, Gu Yan whispered a few words to Gu Lang, and at this time, Gu Lang took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Lang.
"This is a secret letter from His Majesty, and I have shared it with you!"
Gu Yan slowly opened it, and sure enough, his father directly handed over all the rights of Yuqing Customs to Gu Lang, including military power.
