As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Feng Huang's body, he was wearing court clothes, as if the noise of the people around him had nothing to do with him, and his face was full of lightness.

Gu Yinglian is also mixed with selfishness, she doesn't want Feng Huang to have an accident, but she seems to have a hunch, he seems to be like a wild horse that has escaped, and he will never return to his hands.

And just when Gu Yinglian couldn't figure out an idea, Feng Huang slowly walked over from the crowd, "Weichen is willing to go on the expedition." ”

When those people in the court saw that he agreed, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please give an order to the Queen Mother, let His Royal Highness King Nanjing go out to fight against the thieves." ”

Gu Yinglian really has no way out now, and these old ministers will not let Gu Ying come back. Because Gu Jue has never taken them seriously, he beats and scolds them at will.

They only had a few days of good life when external troubles came, and they knew that this Hun was easy to deal with, but Gu Jue was the nightmare of their lives.

The Huns won, but they just plundered some of the people's things, they were nomadic people, they would never come to the capital, they would not plunder their land.

These barbaric Huns, even if they have land, do not know how to sow seeds. But once Gu Jue takes power, the people he can't get used to will lose his life.

Until the time of the child, Gu Yinglian issued an edict to let Feng Huang lead an army of 200,000 to the battle, leaving only 30,000 imperial forest troops to protect the safety of the capital.

Because of the Queen Mother's extravagance, the treasury was empty, and the grain and grass of the 200,000 army were also transported overnight from all over the country, as well as rations from the people's homes.

She set out at dawn, Gu Yinglian was completely sleepless until tonight, she sat on her phoenix chair, the little emperor was also awake, and seemed to feel something, only lying on the bed with a frightened face, and she didn't even dare to cry.

Gu Yinglian saw Feng Huang enter her dormitory, so she pounced on him and buried her head deep in his cold chest, crying pitifully.

The magnificent phoenix robe and hairpin ring on her body had been removed, and her charming face was full of pale at this time, as if she had aged by more than ten years overnight.

Her orphans and widows stayed in the deep palace, she used to rely on Gu Jue, and later relied on this King Nanjing, if the two of them are gone, they can only let those ministers who rely on the old and sell the old be in the hands.

At this moment, a bell rang outside, and it was thought that the time for the sacrifice had arrived. The Queen Mother is a woman, so naturally she can't go, and at this time the two of them will be separated.

Gu Yinglian came out of his arms weakly and helplessly, and said sadly: "When you return triumphantly, you will be the benefactor of the mourning family and the emperor." ”

Feng Huang's eyes are no longer as thorough as in the past, but they have pretended to be too calculated, and there is no longer the wind and clouds of the past.

"Wechen is ashamed and dare not bear it." Feng Huang's slender fingers ran across her long brocade-like hair, "If Weichen can't come back, you will have to protect your life in the future."

Heavy is the one. ”

Now when he was leaving, he actually said such sad words, and she couldn't help but scold: "Bah, what nonsense are you talking about, the mourning family will wait for you to return in the palace." ”

Feng Huang smiled indifferently, and then said: "Weichen has something to ask for, these days Moshu has always had nightmares, crying non-stop, and asked the Queen Mother to be the master, send him to the temple outside the city to stay for a few days, I really can't rest assured of him." ”

Gu Yinglian hurriedly nodded and agreed, "How can the mourning family not agree to such a trivial matter, don't worry, the mourning family will naturally arrange this matter properly, you don't have to be involved in the capital." ”

Feng Huang knelt on one knee and said with a solemn face, "Then Weichen will retire." ”

****************

However, just when Gu Yinglian was praying for Feng Huang every day and wanted him to return safely, an urgent letter of 800 miles came from the border pass.

And it was such a letter that made Gu Yinglian sit in front of the Buddha statue and cry, and there was no longer the nobility of the past.

Seeing that she was crying so much, the king was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said in a nervous voice: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you, isn't it that the sky has fallen." ”

"The sky is falling?" Gu Yinglian's voice trembled, and even the phoenix crown on her head rustled, "He actually reversed, with the army that the mourning family gave him." ”

Hearing this, Wang Ken hurriedly looked at the paper that had fallen to the ground, and after only one glance, his face was shocked and colorless.

It is clearly written that the first thing Feng Huang did when he went to Yanmen Pass was to sign an alliance with the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and then occupy the three cities

and kill the ministers there who do not want to surrender.

Then they opened warehouses and put grain to help the people there. If the people are struggling to make a living today, and it has always been the people who take food as their day, those people are naturally willing to submit when they see the benefits.

And the people of the other cities saw that King Nanjing had rebelled, and they were also ready to make a fuss. For a time, the wolf smoke was everywhere, and the world was in chaos.

However, another eunuch came to report that the guards of the temple outside the city had sent a letter saying that the son of King Nanjing had disappeared into the temple overnight, along with the nurse, leaving no trace.

Gu Yinglian angrily slapped the ground with her hand when she heard the news, "Feng Huang, it turns out that you have already calculated it, I am really confused, I was moved by your deep affection, and I didn't have half a defense." ”

However, Wang Ken had not yet found the words to comfort the Queen Mother, but when he saw a commotion in front of the palace, it was the eunuchs of the Jinluan Palace who ran in.

If he was on the side, he would have gone up and scolded him when he saw that the people under him were so unruly, but today he only felt panicked, "Something happened." ”

The eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, looked at the miserable Queen Mother who was crying, and said hurriedly: "Those ministers have all entered the palace, and now the Jinluan Palace is in chaos, you go and take a look." ”

Gu Yinglian was prostrate on the ground, her long black hair was scattered, and she looked embarrassed, "What do you let the mourning family look at, who still puts the mourning family and the emperor in their eyes now." ”

Seeing that she was like losing her soul, Wang Ken hurriedly kowtowed and said, "You must not say such depressing words, you have to think about the emperor, no more."

Thank you, Lord Gu. ”

She woke up like a dream when she heard this, "Yes, I still have Donglang, she is the younger brother of the mourning family, and he will never betray the mourning family." ”

Only then did she plead to the king: "Quickly fetch a basin of water to serve the mourning family to freshen up, and the mourning family must not be weak." ”

After Wang Ken freshened her, she led the servants to the Jinluan Palace, where it was really messed up, where it was still like a court, and it was like a market.

Those civil servants all hung their heads there, and the generals also scolded their mothers and called their fathers, and their true colors were all exposed.

When Gu Yinglian was supported by Wang Ken in today's hall, those people who were fighting with red ears closed their mouths when they saw her, and they didn't know who shouted in the chaotic crowd, "That traitor was sent by the Queen Mother, you should be responsible for it, otherwise how can you be worthy of the people of the world." ”

Gu Yinglian's thin body straightened hard, and then sneered: "At the beginning, he was asked to go on the expedition, but now you are here to accuse the mourning family, but it will really turn black and white upside down." ”

Hearing such words, King Xian took the lead in walking out of the crowd, and did not kneel on the ground, but said: "It was the Queen Mother who favored the traitor at the beginning, and we dared to recommend it." ”

Now that Gu Jue and Feng Huang are gone, the person with the most henchmen in the court is Xianwang, he has been keeping his head in obscurity, just thinking about taking the opportunity to pull this orphan and widow from a high position.

For a while, everyone accused the Queen Mother of her guilt.

Gu Yinglian endured it for a long time, and finally patted the imperial case in front of her, "Spread the will of the mourning family, and immediately send a thousand imperial forest troops to take Gu Jue."

Picked up from Lingnan. ”

When King Xian heard this, he was about to think about how to block this matter back.

But he saw Gu Yinglian standing up from the phoenix seat, pointed at him and said: "The mourning family knows what the prince is thinking, but there is a sentence you have to remember, the skin is not attached to the hair, only the mourning family and the emperor are here, you are the high-ranking king of the king." ”

*********

The people of Lingnan have not heard from the people of Lingnan, which is far away from the poor and remote land, and even the pawns of the traders are difficult to see, but it is a paradise.

On this day, Yu Zhiyan was sitting on a chair at home, teasing Qiao Niang's nephew.

Her lower abdomen was already slightly bulging, and Qiao Niang was afraid that her nephew would bump into Yu Zhiyan's body, so she hurriedly pulled him to her side.

Now Gu Jue doesn't have to do coolies, he only hunts for a living every day, their yard is full of animal skins, and even Yu Zhiyan can't help but laugh at him, if they live any longer, the prey on this mountain will be extinct.

He was skinning animals in the yard, bloody, and he couldn't bear to look at it.

In this silence, the sound of hurried footsteps and the clashing of armor and weapons resounded through the small courtyard.

The Qiao Niang hurriedly picked up her nephew and stood up, and when she looked into the courtyard, her face was suddenly full of horror, "How can there be so many soldiers, looking at their armor so shiny, it seems that the heavenly soldiers have descended to earth." ”

Yu Zhiyan also stood up after hearing her words, and through the window paper, he saw countless majestic guards standing in the courtyard.

Qiao Niang didn't know them, but Yu Zhenyan could tell at a glance that this was the forbidden army in the palace.

She had thought that today would come, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, as if a stone was pressing heavily on her chest, making her almost unable to breathe.

Soon the leading guards got off their horses and walked out into the courtyard with great swords, holding the bright yellow decree respectfully in their hands.

And Gu Jue, who was peeling the skin, didn't look at them squarely, and was still busy with his own affairs very carefully.

Qiao Niang had never seen such a battle, she was only frightened, and she only asked in a low voice what was going on.

Seeing that she was so nervous, Yu Zhiyan comforted her softly, and then said with a faint smile: "Let's go out, it's time to recite the holy decree in a while." ”

Qiao Niang's ancestor was also degraded here because of the Holy Decree, and she was naturally afraid of the Holy Decree, but she still hurriedly hugged her nephew and walked to the courtyard.

Sure enough, when the two of them walked into the courtyard, Gu Jue was already busy with the things in hand.

The embarrassed guard only cleared his throat and struck the decree open.

Yu Zhiyan gently pulled Qiao Niang to kneel, but saw that Gu Jue also knelt down slowly, and those guards also knelt down with Gu Jue's kneeling.

Yu Zhiyan had already expected what was written on the holy decree, everything that General Gu had lost was back, including her title of First Class Lady of Commandment.

When Gu Jue took the holy decree, everyone was bowing their heads, only Yu Zhiyan slowly raised his face and watched Gu Jue's bloody hand take the bright yellow holy decree.

Yes, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, as soon as Gu Jue went back, the world would be bleeding again.

Gu Jue slowly got up and looked down at the people kneeling on the ground, but heard those guards shouting in unison: "See General Gu." ”

The deafening shouts startled the birds of the mountain away, flapping their wings and flying farther away.

Gu Jue waved his hand casually, "Get up, you people should be careful, don't ruin the flowers of this general's wife." ”

The guards listened and watched their feet, for fear of stepping on those flowers that did not look very valuable.

And everyone stood up just now, but they saw a group of people running in a hurry, but it was Wu Tongshan who came in a hurry, and he didn't even take a sedan chair, but ran over under the scorching sun.

His round body fell to his knees all of a sudden, and his posture was like a dog waving his hands and begging for mercy, "Weichen congratulates General Gu on his return to his position. ”

I'm afraid that even this Lord Wu never thought that such a heinous Gu Jue would be restored to the throne, and King Nanjing, who was bent on wooing him, became a traitor.

Gu Jue threw the holy decree in his hand on the ground without care, and then walked in front of Lord Wu with a smile on his face, "When Lord Wu comes, it is really full of brilliance, but it's a pity that our temple here is small and can't accommodate your big Buddha." ”

Wu Tongshan saw that although he was smiling, he only felt a burst of creepy, and he sweated as follows, "You are really tormented." ”

Gu Jue laughed slowly, and only asked the guards around him, "Look, does he look like a dog like him, come, call General Ben twice to see if it looks like it." ”

Yu Zhiyan saw that his voice was gloomy, as if he had seen the murderous Gu Jue again. Yes, with his temperament, how could he spare this Lord Wu who made things difficult for him everywhere.

That Wu Tongshan is really a master who can bend and stretch, he only screamed twice, and shook his chubby ass, which looked so funny.

The first to laugh was the child in Qiao Niang's arms, the child who didn't know anything about the world only thought it was funny, and he held his stomach and laughed.

Qiao Niang was so frightened that her face suddenly changed, and she quickly reached out to cover the child's mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

However, as soon as the child's laughter stopped, Gu Jue suddenly laughed, he smiled very heartily, and even his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

Just when even Yu Zhiyan was convinced that Gu Jue would spare the life of this Lord Wu, he saw that he suddenly pulled out the saber of the soldier next to him and slashed straight at the neck of Lord Wu.

Qiao Niang was so frightened that she let out a scream, but Yu Zhiyan quickly blindfolded the child's eyes, and then shouted urgently, "Donglang, stop." ”

The knife in Gu Jue's hand was only half a finger away from Lord Wu's neck, if it hadn't been for Yu Zhiyan shouting, he would have already split up at this time.

These forbidden soldiers in the palace also knew Gu Jue's uncertain temper, but there was only one who could make him stop the knife.

That Lord Wu felt that he had just escaped death, and he was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and in front of Yu Zhiyan, he didn't dare to push all the blame on Feng Huang.

"Madam, I beg you to save my dog's life, and I will make you a cow and a horse in the future." His head thumped to the ground, "I used to."

I take good care of you, and you can't dare to live or die in Weichen. ”

Yu Zhiyan looked at Qiao Niang, who was pale-faced beside her, and said without any waves on her face: "Sister, go back with the child, I'm afraid that I won't see each other in the future, so please take care of your life." ”

Qiao Niang knows that she will say goodbye at this time, but she is afraid that there will be no time to see each other in this life, although there are thousands of words to say, but now this situation is really a sentence that cannot be said.

After she left with tears in her eyes, Gu Jue slowly walked to her side and handed the heavy knife to her hand, "He also bullied you, how about you personally resolve your hatred?" You can't be too soft-hearted when you follow this general in the future. ”

His tone didn't seem like asking her to kill, but asking her to choose a shirt.

Wu Tongshan saw the hope of life, but he was instantly pushed into hell, and he was terrified and begged for Yu Zhiyan.

Because he wanted to seal the phoenix at the beginning, he didn't have too much embarrassment Yu Zhiyan, but Gu Jue suffered too much under his hands, but Yu Zhiyan knew it clearly.

Yu Zhiyan didn't plead with Wu Tongshan, but just handed back the cold knife to Gu Jue, "I'm pregnant now, I can't see such blood, you better do it yourself." ”

After saying that, she went back to the house by herself, and packed her things.

When she wanted to leave with Feng Huang, she had already discarded her old clothes in the Taishou Mansion, and now there is nothing to clean up except for the clothes on her body.

I didn't think it at first, but at this time, I felt more and more that her previous life was poor.

The only thing that could not be disposed of was the little tiger, which kept wandering at the feet of Yu Zhiyan, as if it felt like it had been abandoned.

Just when she was stunned, Gu Jue came in from outside, still holding a mahogany box in his hand, and there was a sound of metal colliding inside, which must have been his armor from the past battle.

He opened the wooden box, and then took off his robe, and without her help, he put it on himself.

Yu Zhiyan turned his head, but saw that the armor pieces were connected like fish scales, and the silk collar of stone blue and other colors was hanging down.

She walked over slowly, only reaching out to put him on.

When she went to buckle the jade belt around her waist, her slender arms hugged his neckpiece tightly, and her face was pressed tightly against his chest.

When she struggled to lock the button, she found that she was tightly held in his arms, and she couldn't move at all.

His voice was hoarse, as if he was tentative, "We're going back to the capital now, why aren't you happy at all." ”

Yu Zhiyan pierced his face deep in his chest, and he only wanted to burrow into his bones and blood, only in this way could he stop his future killing.

After a long time, Gu Jue slowly let her go, "There's nothing to clean up here, let's leave here immediately." ”

Yu Zhiyan blurted out, "And-"

She wanted to take the silk shirt she had made for him, and she had done it for three whole days, and she had done it with all her heart and every stitch, but he didn't want it.

Obviously, what she liked the most was the one he didn't want to remember, just like the days of exile here, the most comfortable days of Yu Zhiyan, but the darkest and most dreary period of General Gu's life.

The heavy armor had been put on, and he stood majestically in front of her, he frowned, and casually followed her words and asked, "What else?" ”

Yu Zhiyan swallowed the words that were pressed in his throat, and only pointed to the tiger that was wandering around on the ground: "You should always think about what to do with it." ”

His eyes were full of impatience, "It's just a beast, either take it back to the capital or put it in the mountains." ”

In his eyes, this tiger who had followed them all these days was just the same as the skins hanging from the eaves outside, and he had no feelings for them.

Yu Zhiyan hugged the little tiger, and then said: "In this case, I will let it go, it was originally a bloodthirsty and meat-eating thing, and following us will only make it lose its nature." ”

Gu Jue was noncommittal to her words, as if he had thought of something, so he searched around the house.

After a while, she didn't find it, so she turned her head and frowned, "Where is that thing?" ”

Yu Zhiyan knew what he was talking about, but he felt that his heart shrank, which was more uncomfortable than a knife stab. She slowly lowered the little tiger in her arms, and then rummaged through the cabinet to find the half-burned belly pocket.

She couldn't help but sneer, "Why just take away this useless thing, why don't you go to the Qinglou and pick people out, if you like it, why don't you straighten her up?" ”

If Yu Zheyan had been jealous for himself in the past, he would have been very happy, but now when he thinks of the owner of this belly pocket, he can't be happy anyway.

As if someone had stepped on his tail, he said impatiently: "You don't care about such things." ”

Yu Zhiyan watched him take the belly pocket away, and said lightly: "Naturally, I can't control you." ”

He saw that she was annoyed, and just wanted to explain, but saw her go out with the little tiger in his arms, and seemed to ignore him calling her name behind him.

Yu Zhiyan walked to the top of the mountain in one breath, and then put down the little tiger, the tiger refused to go, only around her legs kept rubbing, just a month of work, this little tiger was raised by her to be like a cat.

She was so ruthless that she picked up a piece of dry wood from the ground and struck at the little tiger.

Yu Zhiyan burst into tears and scolded: "You cheeky brute, do you still expect me to raise you for the rest of your life, don't you get out of here." ”
