Chapter 125: Missing
Su Yunlai breathed a sigh of relief, since Gu Junyan didn't have to go back to the capital, he had to prepare for the next things, how to deal with the aftermath for Gu Junyan, Yi Wen came back.
Gu Junyan sent Yi Wen back to report his safety, something so big happened, Su Yunlai must have been in a hurry, and now that it was not peaceful outside, Gu Junyan asked Yi Wen to come back and guard the house.
"Don't worry, young lady, the young general has now regained his command." Yi Wen said with a happy face: "This is really a peak and a loop, I thought there was no chance, but I didn't expect the young general to really have his own natural appearance, and the Liao people did the young general a great favor." ”
Su Yunlai looked surprised, "So fast? I still thought that the dynasty would not let Jun Yan re-command so quickly without a few defeats. ”
Yi Wen's eyes flashed, and he said reluctantly: "It's Xu Guanyi, who vouched for the young general." ”
Xu Guanyi? A flash of deep thought flashed in Su Yunlai's eyes, "What about the young general?" ”
"I've already brought people out of the army." Yi Wen replied, he looked smug: "This time the Liao army came prepared, the young general was not there, everyone had no bottom in their hearts, and they couldn't care about anything else, so Xu Guanyi agreed to let the young general lead the troops to the battlefield, but the old boys of the guards were not at ease, so they had to send someone to follow, which was really a superfluous move." ”
Su Yunlai pondered for a while, and suddenly shouted, "Not good! After a pause, she asked, "Who is the person who went to the battlefield with the major general this time?" ”
"It's Xiaobao, young lady, what's wrong?" Yi Wen saw Su Yunlai's solemn expression, and his heart also chuckled.
"Xu Guanyi, this is to kill people on the battlefield!" Su Yunlai said with an ugly face, she hurriedly walked back and forth, but her heart was in chaos.
Yi Wen looked stunned: "Won't it?" ”
"Xu Guanyi is a scheming and ruthless person, nothing he does will be without purpose, he seems to be helping Jun Yan speak this time, so that Jun Yan can regain command, the soldiers in the army must be very grateful to him, right?" Su Yun said.
Yi Wen nodded, not to mention the soldiers in the army, it was him, he was not so resentful of Xu Guanyi, no matter what Xu Guanyi did, at least he was still very reliable at the critical moment, in the face of major rights and wrongs.
Su Yunlai had a 'she knew' expression on his face: "He helped Jun Yan speak, firstly, he could gain the favor of the soldiers, and now everyone thinks that he is right to do this, right?" Second, he found a perfect opportunity to get rid of Jun Yan. After a pause, she said again: "Jun Yan did not collaborate with the enemy and treason, with the strength of the Gu family, everyone in the court is now condemning Jun Yan, that is just groundless, Xu Guanyi is not completely sure that he can convict Jun Yan." ”
"So, all along, I also hope that Jun Yan can go back, and now I am pointing out Jun Yan, it's just a defeat, this doesn't need to be explained at all, it is Su Yunzhen's so-called certificate sent out at the risk of death, what can it prove? Su Yunzhen is already Xiao Tingxuan's side concubine, and she is also half a Liao, so what credibility does she have when she says it? She thought that she would die, which would be even more ridiculous, since she had a way to send the letter, why didn't she leave? Her death can also be interpreted as the murder of the Liao people, just to borrow her hand to sow discord! Su Yunlai said coldly.
Yi Wen looked at Su Yunlai dumbfounded, Gu Junyan was almost discredited because of this, Gu Jiajun's people were all worried about this matter, and they were also angry that Gu Junyan had received these trumped-up accusations, they were all indignant, and they couldn't wait to go back to the capital to explain for Gu Junyan.
But listening to the young lady say this, how can those slanders that make them helpless seem to be joking? As if there was nothing to worry about at all?
"Jun Yan is reluctant to return to the capital, just because he can't worry about the war at the border pass, so even if I have a way to let him go back, he is unwilling." Su Yunlai said gloomily.
Even if she has the means and the means, but Gu Junyan is unwilling, she can't use it.
Li Sheng ordered to send someone to arrest Gu Junyan and return to Beijing, in fact, she was relieved, returning to the capital was not an opportunity for Gu Junyan? But she knew that Gu Junyan didn't want this opportunity.
"Now, Jun Yan has stayed, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, even if there is an accident, it has nothing to do with him, it is really a good hand to borrow a knife to kill people!" Su Yun said, a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
"Young lady! When you say this, isn't the young general more than lucky? Yi Wen said anxiously.
"And it's Xiaobao who follows Jun Yan." Su Yun said, lowered his gaze, but the five fingers on his side slowly retracted.
Yi Wen was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "You mean, Xiaobao ...... him"
"Xiaobao, it's Xu Guanyi's righteous son." Su Yunlai sighed and said, "It is that he and Jun Yan have a master-apprentice relationship, but Xu Guanyi has the grace of nurturing him in the end, and the nurturing grace is greater than God." ”
Yi Wen's face was full of struggle, and then he said: "I don't think so, I don't think Xiaobao is like that, he has always admired the young general." ”
"Xiaobao is not that kind of person, but what if Xu Guanyi persecuted him with kindness?" Su Yunlai said, "Xiaobao is also a child I watched grow up, and I don't want him to be such a person, but there will always be many times when people are helpless, if Xu Guanyi really coerces with the grace of nurturing, how should Xiaobao choose?" ”
Yi Wen opened his mouth, but in the end he had nothing to say: "In this way, isn't our major general more than lucky......
Su Yunlai frowned slightly, clenched her fists tightly, and felt a strong sense of powerlessness, the battlefield was a world that she couldn't reach.
"Young lady, you have always been resourceful, you have to think of a way, you can't let the young general just send him to death!" Yi Wen said anxiously.
Su Yunlai waved her hand, her brows furrowed, and she suddenly asked, "Where did the young general go with his troops?" ”
Yi Wen hurriedly walked to the desk, there was a map that Gu Junyan was putting on the desk, and Yi Wen pointed to the place above.
"The major general led the troops here, this is the focus of the Liao attack, and it is also our relatively weak place......"
Su Yunlai frowned slightly, she bit her lip, and then said solemnly: "Yi Wen, I do have a way to get the young general back as soon as possible, but ...... I'm not sure, I don't know if it's the right thing to do. ”
Yi Wen was stunned for a moment, "Young lady? ”
Su Yunlai clicked on the map, "According to Jun Yan's original deployment, he went here to cut off the back road of the Liao army, this tactic is right, it can cut off the support of the Liao army, but all this must be done on the premise of ensuring the safety of the city, if the city is broken...... The Major General will definitely come back to the rescue. ”
Yi Wen was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively blurted out: "This can't work!" ”
If the city is broken, how will the city be broken? If the outside can't be broken, it will be broken from the inside, which is equivalent to opening the city gate and allowing the Liao army to attack directly.
But then......
Yi Wen shook his head again and again: "No, this won't work, the young general will definitely not agree!" ”
Su Yunlai was silent, yes, she knew no, but this was the only way she could think of.
But Gu Junyan would not agree, his own safety, let the people of the whole city take risks.
Su Zhixun once experienced that when Lingnan City was broken, the iron hooves of the Liao army trampled through the entire land, and the people were slaughtered.
As his daughter, Su Yunlai naturally understood what kind of unforgettable pain it was, and she couldn't make such a choice selfishly.
The most painful thing is not the loss, but that she has a way to save him, but she can only watch him go into danger.
Even an iron-clad man like Yi Wen couldn't help but redden, and said in a loud voice: "Young General, he has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine......
In the past, Gu Junyan could return triumphantly, but this time, he didn't know if the arrow shot at him was from the enemy or from behind, so how could he be safe?
Su Yunlai blinked, and couldn't hide the pain in his heart: "Yi Wen, you go out first, I want to be alone first." ”
Yi Wen looked at her and stopped, but finally nodded, turned around and walked out, and closed the door.
Su Yunlai dug out Gu Junyan's previous correspondence, trying to find any clues in them, maybe she could think of a way to save Gu Junyan.
However, before Su Yunlai could find a way, the bad news came, the troops led by Gu Junyan were hit hard, and Gu Junyan was injured and his whereabouts are unknown.
When the news came back to the city, Su Yunlai almost fainted, Chen hugged her tightly, her ears were filled with various sounds, her heart hurt so much that she almost suffocated, she bit her lip tightly and breathed deeply.
"Ah Wan, Ah Wan, it's just missing, the body hasn't been found yet, Jun Yanfu has a big life, it's going to be fine, you must stop!" Chen said anxiously.
Su Yunlai blinked, her lip was bitten by her and oozing blood, she wanted to speak, but she couldn't say a word, her chest rolled, panting, and it took a while before she gradually calmed down.
yes, it's just missing, it's just missing, he's going to be fine......
Su Yunlai desperately comforted himself.
Just when the news of Gu Junyan's disappearance came back, Xu Guanyi came to the door, he didn't come by himself, he also brought a team of soldiers and horses, almost surrounding the entire mansion.
Su Zhixun looked stunned, and walked out angrily: "Lord Xu, you surrounded my house with so many soldiers, what does this mean?" ”
Xu Guanyi was still very polite to Su Zhixun, "Don't misunderstand Lord Su, the lower official has no malicious intentions, but the city has not been very peaceful recently, and the lower official is also worried about the safety of Lord Su's family, so he brought someone over to protect him, and the official is kind." ”
Su Zhixun looked at him coldly and said, "Is it protection?" I think it's surveillance! ”
"Look, Lord Su still misunderstood the good intentions of the lower officials, Gu Junyan is missing, Lord Su is Gu Junyan's father-in-law, I should send someone to protect it, and I also ask Lord Su to make it convenient for the lower officials, find a place for the lower officials, and the lower officials will not pick!"
This is still going to stay!
Su Zhixun was angry, but the other party looked like a scoundrel, and he had no choice, since he didn't pick it, Su Zhixun directly arranged a firewood room for him.
Xu Guanyi really didn't dislike it, he went to live by himself, and the soldiers he brought with him also laid bunks in the yard, but fortunately, the weather is not cold now.
Su Yunlai frowned slightly when he heard about Xu Guanyi's style, Xiaoqing was playing rampant in the yard on weekdays, and no one dared to care about her, now there are so many more people in the yard, one day when Xiaoqing was playing in the yard, she happened to bump into a guard.
When the guard saw that Gu Junyan was missing and that the Su family was under their control, he was quite unimpressed with Gu Qinghao, and pushed her to the point, where did the little girl suffer this grievance from birth to now, and she cried at that time.
not only recruited Chen, but also recruited Xu Guanyi.
Xu Guan's face turned pale, and he immediately ordered the guard to be beaten with thirty boards.
Chen hugged the little girl and coaxed gently, Xu Guanyi waved at Chen: "Second wife, it is not good for the subordinate officials to control their subordinates, so that the little lady is wronged." ”
Chen was distressed, and glared at Xu Guanyi: "Lord Xu is serious!" After all, our family still depends on you to protect us! I just don't know, is this how Lord Xu protects? I'm going to let the lord give His Majesty a discount! ”
Xu Guanyi smiled bitterly, looking at Gu Qinghao's red eyes from crying, a little at a loss.
"Daddy, grandmother, I'm looking for Daddy!" Gu Qinghao said with a low sob.
Xu Guanyi's face changed, but Chen was a little sad, patted her on the back, and softly comforted: "Okay, Daddy will come back, will come back." ”
Chen took Gu Qinghao back to the courtyard, Su Yunlai also knew about this day, and this sense of humiliation made her very angry.
At night, Su Yun came to coax Gu Qing to sleep, and the strange atmosphere in the house in the past few days made the already smart little girl also notice what seemed to be happening.
"Mother, I miss my father so much, when will he come back?" Gu Qing sighed, grabbed the quilt with her white and clear little hands, and asked in a milky voice.
Su Yunlai touched her head and smiled slightly: "Mother misses Dad too, Mother promises you that Dad will be back soon?" ”
"Really?" The little girl was happy at once, in the little girl's heart, the mother is almost omnipotent, as long as she agrees, the father will definitely come back: "Then I want to go to bed early, maybe tomorrow my father will come back!" ”
Su Yunlai smiled slightly, covered her with the quilt, and then quietly walked out.
Back in the main room, Yi Wen and Jun Yao were already waiting there.
"Young lady, isn't this okay? If the young general knew, he would have to beat me to death! Yi Wen said with a bitter face.
Su Yunlai raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, can you go and get him back yourself?" ”
Yi Wen immediately stopped talking.
Su Yunlai decided to go to find Gu Junyan in person, she had been studying the place where Gu Junyan disappeared in the past few days, she and Yi Wen both felt that Gu Junyan had a great chance of survival, because Su Yunlai was very familiar with the place where Gu Junyan disappeared this time.
I remember that Gu Junyan took Su Zhan to go on the expedition before, but he encountered an ambush, and took the soldiers to the bottom of the cliff, where Su Zhan met Qi Shuying, and the place where Gu Junyan disappeared was the cliff at that time.
If it weren't for this place, Su Yunlai might also think that Gu Junyan was more than lucky, but this place, Su Yunlai felt that it was not such a coincidence.
At that time, it was Xu Guanyi who found Gu Junyan, and it was because of this that Xu Guanyi attracted Gu Junyan's attention, and later he rose to prominence and had today's status, in the past few days, Xu Guanyi sent a lot of people to look for Gu Junyan at the bottom of the cliff, and he didn't believe that Gu Junyan would die like this.
Su Yunlai decided that she couldn't wait like this, she had to find someone first.
She is quite familiar with that cliff, although she has never been there, but she is the person who has the most contact with Qi Shuying, when the two of them were together in the past, Qi Shuying would always tell her about the days under the cliff.
It's just that now the courtyard is full of Xu Guanyi's people, and if they want to hide it from him, I'm afraid it will take some effort, but fortunately, Su Yunlai has already prepared.
"Jun Yao, after I leave, you will declare to the public that I am sick, and it is an infectious disease, and outsiders are not allowed to approach, Yi Wen has already arranged a doctor, you can rest assured." Su Yunlai admonished.
Jun Yao nodded, still a little unwilling: "Young lady, can't I go with you?" ”
Su Yunlai shook his head: "You left with me, no one takes care of the affairs here, I don't worry." ”
Jun Yao looked reluctant, looking at Su Yunlai's eyes with tears, and reluctantly, Yi Wen was unhappy for a while.
Jun Yao glanced at Yi Wen and said in an unkind tone, "Do you take good care of the young lady?" If she's missing a hair, I won't let you go!" ”
Yi Wen smiled softly, and suddenly stepped forward to hold her hand, Jun Yao was stunned for a moment, and then shook it off without hesitation, and asked angrily, "What are you doing!" After a pause, he turned his head and complained: "Young lady! He bullied me! ”
Yi Wen looked at her but said seriously: "If I can come back safely this time, I will marry you." ”
Jun Yao looked stunned, and then became angry: "Who, who wants to marry you!" ”
Yi Wen had already let go of her hand, turned around and walked out, he still had things to arrange.
Jun Yao looked at his back, suddenly took two steps forward, and shouted loudly, "You must come back safely!" ”
Yi Wen waved his hand casually behind him, and then the figure disappeared into the night.
On the night of this day, the west wing of the Su Mansion suddenly caught fire, and the fire reflected the red sky, but fortunately, there are many people in the Su Mansion now, and someone soon found out, and everyone gathered around the west wing to put out the fire.
Taking advantage of the firelight, Su Yunlai and Yi Wen quietly left home.
The fire woke everyone up, and Xu Guanyi was worried that Su Yunlai would be frightened, so he had to go to see Su Yunlai.
Su Zhixun was so angry: "Lord Xu is too much, right?" You are a foreign man, how can you go to see my daughter? ”
Xu Guanyi, who has always been courteous to Su Zhixun, has a tough attitude: "I am responsible for protecting the safety of everyone in Su Mansion, and I am not sure of the safety of the young lady, I will not leave!" ”
As soon as Xu Guan finished speaking, he strode towards the inner courtyard.
Su Zhixun hurriedly followed.
Jun Yao walked out according to Su Yunlai's instructions, and looked at Xu Guanyi with a look of honor and disgrace: "The young lady is fine, she has already rested, Lord Xu, please go back." ”
Xu Guanyi frowned: "The young lady was frightened?" Shall I let the doctor take a look? ”
"Fright? What kind of big deal is this, and it can also frighten our young lady? Jun Yao said disdainfully, "If Lord Xu is frightened, it is better to take a look yourself!" ”
Xu Guanyi: "......"
After Jun Yao finished speaking, she ignored him, turned around and went back to the house, closing the door.
Su Zhixun felt a little dark inexplicably.
Xu Guanyi was particularly integrated with the people around Su Yunlai, and he didn't care at this time, but turned around and went back.
Su Yunlai and Yi Wen drove the carriage out of the city and headed towards the place where Gu Junyan had an accident.
Now that the two countries are at war, the road is not very peaceful, so the two of them are very cautious, and while walking, Yi Wen began to complain in his heart, what if he encounters the Liao army? At that time, something happened to the young lady, and the young general had to peel off his skin when he came back.
As if sensing Yi Wen's thoughts, Su Yunlai opened his mouth to calm him: "As long as we walk through this section of the road, we will take the small road in front, and we should not run into the Liao army." ”
Yi Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was late at night when the two of them came out, and the Liao army didn't come out at night, but when they arrived at the path that Su Yun said, Yi Wen was dumbfounded.
The young lady didn't tell him that the so-called path was on the top of the mountain.
"We can save a lot of time by going over here." Su Yun said, "According to my third sister-in-law, she used to come to this mountain often to pick herbs. ”
The carriage on the mountain was impassable, and the two of them got out of the carriage and hid the carriage aside, and Su Yunlai took down all the things he had prepared and hung them on Yi Wen's body unceremoniously.
In fact, most of them were some medicinal herbs, and they all felt that Gu Junyan might be injured.
Yi Wen doesn't care, but Su Yunlai is a lady who can't resist and can't lift her hands, can she walk this mountain road?
Su Yunlai answered his question with his own hands, Yi Wen found the mountain road difficult to walk, Su Yunlai walked silently, without complaining, especially in midsummer, there are all kinds of mosquitoes, the grass on the side of the road is lush and dense, and it is inevitable that people will be scratched.
Yi Wen suddenly understood why the young general of their family, who was such a person with a high eye above the top, had a deep affection for Su Yunlai, and even if he had no children for so many years, he promised never to take a concubine.
It turns out that there are some people who can't be replaced, he has already got the best one, and he can no longer look down on others.
The road on this mountain is really difficult to walk, and I have been walking for more than two hours before finally reaching my destination.
"In the past, my third sister-in-law said that there is a fence here, and if you go down from here, you can go straight to the top of the mountain, I haven't been here, Yi Wen, we'll look for it later."
Yi Wen searched for half an hour before finally finding a ...... in the dense weeds If that could be called a road.
The so-called gate road is a passage built in the mountain, but there is no one on this mountain all year round, and it is Qi Shuying's father who came here to collect medicine, for convenience, he made such a road out, which is simple and narrow, Qi Shuying is used to walking and doesn't feel anything, but everyone like Su Yunlai feels that it is much more difficult.
"Young lady! It's too dangerous! Yi Wen said, "No, you can't go down!" ”
