Chapter 187: The Last Side
When Gu Jue got off the horse in silver armor, his majestic appearance seemed to be no longer on the emperor who was high above, but involuntarily looked at this god of war.
The sunlight reflected on his armor, and he walked step by step towards the emperor who stood tall above.
Gu Jue knelt on the ground and said in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Weichen see the emperor." ”
His voice was heavy, and the guards behind him all fell to their knees, shouting hooray. All of a sudden, even the city gates were buzzing.
Feng Huang walked up to Gu Jue and helped him up, his eyes seemed to be touched, "Aiqing is a pillar of the country, and I will not treat you badly." ”
After he finished speaking, he went to Lin Guogong's coffin again, Feng Huang's eyes seemed to be wet, but the queen beside him did not shed a single tear.
The minister who greeted him was speechless, and the eldest son of Lin Guogong, who was in pain in the coffin, was also full of coldness, and now her phoenix position relied on the power of the Lin family, and now that her father is dead, she is so ruthless.
Gu Jue knelt in front of the palace gate, and the eunuch read the reward recital, and there were three holy decrees.
In the small courtyard next to the city gate, the silk windows were almost buzzing with the deafening sound of drums and silk bamboo, but the woman sleeping on the bed did not move.
She slept so quietly, even the sound of her breathing was so light.
The maid opened the window, and the spring breeze blew on her face with a hint of warmth, and at this moment, the eyelashes like butterfly wings trembled slightly.
Until everything was over, Gu Jue's face was already full of impatience, and he only thought about Yu Zhiyan.
When Gu Jue rode back to the mansion on a tall horse, he saw Yu Zheshuang wearing the robe of a first-class lady and standing in front of the Chengguo Mansion.
He couldn't help but look for Yu Zhiyan and Arnold's figures, but among the people kneeling in front of the mansion, there was none.
According to the rules, Yu Zheshuang had to lead the people in the mansion to kneel and worship, as well as to catch the wind and wash the dust.
But Gu Jue didn't look at Yu Zheshuang from the corner of his eyes, and only walked straight into my house. Who knew that before he crossed the threshold, he heard Yu Zheshuang's cold voice coming from behind him.
"Where is the husband going at this time?"
Gu Jue snorted coldly, and walked straight to the house.
For some reason, he seemed to have a premonition in his heart. He didn't believe that Yu Zhiyan would hide in the mansion and not come out, the news of his return to Beijing must have spread all over the capital, and she would definitely come back from the nunnery.
Seeing that he ignored himself, Yu Zheshuang actually laughed, "General Gu, the person you are looking for is not in the mansion." ”
Gu Jue suddenly froze, only turned his head and asked, "Where is she?" ”
"At Hades, I thought that General Gu would be able to see her after dying on the battlefield, it seems really disappointing." Yu Zhishuang slowly stood up.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Jue was furious, walked straight back, and stood in front of Yu Zheshuang.
"Husband, you are fighting outside, naturally no one has reported your funeral, she has fallen off the cliff and died." Yu Zheshuang raised her eyes and looked directly at him, and looked at him with a smug face.
"If you talk nonsense again, even if you have the reputation of killing your wife, you won't be left with your cheap life."
"It turns out that the general still knows that the concubine is your wife, and the concubine is really flattered." The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her eyes were full of condensation, "I'm telling you one thing, your daughter's life and death are unknown, but I'm afraid that there are no bones left." ”
**************
On the cliff outside the city, hundreds of soldiers stood on the top of the cliff, and even though it was already early spring, the wind in Leng Cen Cen still shivered all over the body.
The guards kneeling on the ground were sweating profusely, and they only survived last month, but they didn't expect to face Gu Jue, the living king of Hades.
I didn't expect that today would be even more terrifying than that.
Gu Jue's voice was as heavy as a boulder, and the blade of the sword in his hand pointed at the man in front of him, "You say, Zheyan fell from here?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare to lie, when those thieves caught up with the mountain, the lady took a dead end, and when the saint led people to catch up, the people had already fallen."
Gu Jue's eyes were full of remorse and despair, he thought that he could avoid Yu Zheshuang's persecution by sending her here, but he didn't expect that he still didn't protect her thoroughly.
He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the bottomless abyss, as if he had swallowed only a man into it.
Feng Huang sent someone to tell him that it was the people who killed Yu Zhiyan who were Huai Wang. Moreover, Feng Huang has sent guards down the mountain to look for several days, but there is no trace.
Wild beasts are infested under the cliff, and I don't know how many lifetimes and years have been full of bones, or they have just fallen off the cliff and been eaten by wild beasts.
He still clearly remembers that when he went on the expedition, she said that she would wait for him to come back, and her eyes were full of reluctance and attachment. Unexpectedly, it was the last time he saw her, and it was a matter of life and death.
"You fool, you are also scared when you go to the underworld, so I will accompany you." The corners of Gu Jue's mouth actually outlined a faint smile.
He slowly closed his eyes, and with one foot he collapsed half a step forward, and he was about to jump off the cliff.
When the guards around him saw that his face was full of despair and that he was standing on the edge of the cliff, they were already on guard. Seeing that he stepped down, several people hurriedly pounced on him and dragged him back.
Gu Jue was furious for a moment, "She is gone now, what am I going to do if I am left alone in this world, it is better to follow her immediately." If any of you dare to stop me, I will kill him. ”
How dare those guards let go, but Gu Jue struggled desperately, as if he didn't want to live at all, and kicked those guards away in a few moments.
When Gu Jue turned around and jumped again, a childish and frightened voice came, "Daddy-"
There seemed to be a slight fluctuation in his originally dead heart, and he slowly turned his face away, only to see Arnold running in a hurry, following closely
Behind her, it's not Bai Feng, who is that.
Seeing that his originally missing daughter appeared alive in front of him, Gu Jue squatted down suddenly, letting Arnold's small body crash into his arms.
Bai Feng walked up slowly, and there was no longer the cynicism of the past in his eyes, only guilt and helplessness.
He knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily at Gu Jue, and then said in a deep voice: "Master, after I detoxified Arnold's poison that day, I immediately caught up with the mountain, and by that time it was——"
At this point, he still didn't dare to say any more. After all, when Gu Jue left, he asked him to secretly protect Yu Zhe, but he didn't expect such a fork.
Arnold has been protected by Bai Feng all these days, for fear of being poisoned by people again, and even Bai Zhu'er has been detained.
When he heard that Gu Jue had returned to Beijing, he hurriedly chased after him with Arnold, if he was half a quarter of the night, he was afraid that Gu Jue would have jumped off the cliff.
Arnold cried pitifully in her arms, and only asked her mother where she went.
Although the child was in a coma that day, he also knew that a group of people were chasing them, but his aunt did not leave with her.
This child has never left Yu Zhiyan's side since he was a child, and he has only cried for more than a month to find Yu Zhiyan, and he doesn't like Bai Feng to find any rare things to play.
Bai Feng saw that the child was crying pitifully, and hurriedly said: "Master, you don't think about the side of you, you only think about this lonely child, you can't do this." ”
Dong Lang hugged his daughter tightly, the despair in his eyes gradually dissipated, and then there was a long sigh.
Just when he gave up and died, a premonition couldn't help but arise.
Arnold's poisoning, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to have anything to do with Yu Zheshuang, but Yu Zheshuang will not collude with the people who Huai Wang will not collude with him anyway, unless it is someone else, the emperor? Or which one of the courts?
He just wanted to know this answer urgently, and the only thing that could make him believe was King Huai, who he deliberately let go, and escaped from the desert.
*****************
Gu Jue returned from victory, the emperor rewarded him more, and in the eyes of outsiders, the former glory of the Chengguo Mansion came back from the new, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit.
And Gu Jue was all sent away, and no one was seen. And in the court, he also said that he was sick, and he didn't even pay attention to the celebration banquet set up by Feng Huang himself.
When the people in the court saw him so arrogant, they sent stacks of imperial cases to the emperor, but Feng Huang ignored them, and only ordered people to send mountains of tonics.
Yu Zheshuang has been busy with her own affairs in the past few days, or repairing her mother's grave, and even cleaning up the old house of the Yu family that has been abandoned for many years.
Then he asked someone to send a few thousand taels of silver to his cousin's house in Jiangnan.
Gu Jue has received a lot of rewards, even if she uses silver every day, she doesn't dare to be criticized.
Until she came back from outside on this day, Su Liu handed over a letter to her, and then said: "Madam, your posthumous affairs are over, this is a letter from the emperor to you, you will act today,"
Yu Zheshuang took the letter and sneered at Feng Huang's eyeliner left by his side, "Our master and servant are also fate, you can change this robe for me today." ”
Su Liu put on the clothes of her Lady of the Command, and then put the beaded flowers and step shakes properly, and then slowly retreated.
Yu Zheshuang looked at the woman in the bronze mirror, extremely respectful, she is now a first-class lady, she didn't expect that their Yu family had two orders.
She came out slowly, the harsh sunlight shining on her eyes.
Su Liu walked over slowly and said lightly, "The carriage is ready." ”
Yu Zhishuang walked slowly, stepping on the green bricks of the Chengguo Mansion, and when he walked to Gu Jue's courtyard, he turned around and asked, "What is he doing?" ”
"You'd better leave as soon as possible, lest anything happen." Su Liu said expressionlessly, "General Gu has been drunk and dreaming of death for the past few days, but I'm afraid that he is still unconscious." ”
"I'll go see him." Yu Zheshuang opened her mouth lightly, but when she saw that Su Liu was about to stop her, she couldn't help but sneer: "Why, don't we even be allowed to see each other for the last time?" ”
