Chapter 60: Don't Think Good!
The atmosphere in the barracks was solemn, and there were many rumors that there were spies in the army, which led to the disappearance of the major general.
"Who is it? Who's the spy?! He must not be appeased! We have to find out the spy! ”
As soon as the soldiers heard that the generals had a traitor, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and ran to Gu Yanshan's tent to protest, the generals were almost unable to suppress it, and in the end, it was Gu Yanshan who came forward to appease the emotions of these soldiers.
Su Yunlai heard that the soldiers in the barracks were almost rioting, so he called Mama Lan, "The third brother and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson have always exchanged letters, and it has always been Linshu who helped deliver the letter before, you asked Linshu to help me deliver a letter to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." ”
Linshu is the little guy next to Su Zhan, and he is also Mama Lan's nephew, this time because Su Zhan asked him to do something, so he didn't go out with Su Zhan, so he escaped.
Mama Lan answered, took the letter from Su Yunlai, turned around and walked out.
Su Yunlai walked to the window, pushed open the window, the cool breeze blew in, blowing her hair, she had an indissolvable Yousi in her eyes, hoping that they would be safe, everything she could have done had been done.
……
Zhang Gui is one of the captains of the three search teams looking for Gu Junyan, when he left the barracks, he brought a recruit who had just enlisted in the army, saying that he was not a recruit, but just an account room, but this account room has read books and has a smart brain, Zhang Gui trusts him a lot.
This time he received an order to find Gu Junyan, and he was ecstatic in his heart, he knew that finding Gu Junyan was a great achievement, and he was bound to find Gu Junyan one step ahead of others!
It has been two days since the search and rescue, all of them are mountain roads, there are large woods, and the soldiers are tired from the long journey.
"Lao Xu, you said that we have been looking for so long and we haven't even seen a figure, do you think Master Su guessed wrong?" Zhang Gui asked with some suspicion.
Xu Guanyi was looking at the map, shook his head when he heard his words, and said categorically: "Lord Su's guess will not be wrong. ”
"But I've been passing the book with other teams of flying pigeons in the past few days, and they haven't found any clues, so we can't be doing useless work, right?" Zhang Gui said: "Why don't we go to the place where the accident happened first?" ”
Xu Guan glanced at him, and then said: "These three search and rescue locations are military orders issued by the general himself, if the adults want to change the route, they will disobey the military order." ”
Zhang Gui really hesitated: "This ......"
Xu Guanyi said again: "My lord, the young general is resourceful, and very experienced, and he is very attribute to the terrain, with the caution of the young general, it will definitely not let people find the traces, if it attracts the enemy, it will be bad, so the young general must have covered up the traces, let's be patient to find it." ”
As soon as Xu Guan finished speaking, he continued to look at the map, and then pointed to a location: "My lord, you see, this ethereal peak is in the middle of the place where the major general disappeared and us, there is a mountain forest below here, there is only one path to go up and down the mountain, and the location is easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”
"Old Xu, what do you mean?"
"There are a lot of herbs in the mountains and forests below, I think, there are few major generals, and it is estimated that they will be injured after the battle, and this is a good place to recuperate." Xu Guanyi continued.
"If that's what you say, then why didn't the Major General send someone back?"
Xu Guan's eyes flashed: "Maybe, they can't get out?" ”
Zhang Gui thought about it and felt that there was some truth, "Okay, listen to you, we'll go here tomorrow to have a look!" ”
After a day's rest, Zhang Gui led the troops to rush to the misty peak, and when he arrived at the foot of the misty peak, Zhang Gui's hairs all over his body were about to stand up, and his natural acumen as a soldier made him immediately aware that there was something wrong with the surrounding environment.
"Hidden! It's all hidden! ”
……
"We won't be able to hold on for a few days." Gu Junyan said to Su Zhan worriedly: "Now the Great Liao people want to capture me alive, so they haven't set fire to the mountain yet, but it's not a way to go on like this, they won't wait too long, even if we occupy the advantageous terrain, but after fighting in the past few days, there are fewer and fewer people, we still have to think of another idea." ”
In a wooden house under the Ethereal Peak, Gu Junyan had just finished a battle, and he still had a strong smell of blood on his body.
Su Zhan lay on the bed on the side, and said with a guilty face: "It's all me, if I wasn't injured, I wouldn't have dragged the young general to be trapped here!" ”
At the time of the incident, after Gu Junyan found out that he had been ambushed, he led his troops to break through, but Su Zhan was accidentally hit by an arrow, and later sprained his foot in the process of escaping, which perfectly explains what it means to be useless and a scholar.
"What are you talking about? If I hadn't brought you out, I wouldn't have hurt you, so it's my fault. Gu Junyan frowned and said, "Don't say such stupid things, with this time, it's better to think about how we want to get out." ”
Su Zhan opened his mouth, and secretly said in his heart, if there was a way, he would have said it a long time ago, so why wait here?
Gu Junyan looked at him and raised his eyebrows and said, "Haven't you had the title of a prodigy since you were a child?" Why can't you think of a way, Ah Wan is so smart, you are her brother, even if you can't compare to her, you can't be too bad, right? ”
Su Zhan was ashamed and indignant.
"Yo, he's still a prodigy? Could it be that prodigies are so weak that they can't help the wind, as if a gust of wind can blow them away? A female voice spoke, with a thick teasing tone in her tone.
Su Zhan's eyes immediately flashed a touch of murderous intent, he looked coldly at the girl who appeared, this girl was wearing a linen cloth dress, a simple bun, only a wooden hairpin tied her hair, but she looked delicate and sweet, her movements were heroic but not rude, seeing Su Zhan's angry red face, she smiled and bent her eyes.
"Qi Shuying! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person! Su Zhan said coldly.
This girl's name is Qi Shuying, and her parents often live under the misty peak, her father is a doctor, and he will move here back then, also because there are many precious medicinal materials under the misty peak, and then her parents passed away one after another, and she stayed here.
This time Su Zhan was injured, and it was Qi Shuying who saved him.
Of course, Su Gongzi has read sage books since he was a child, and he would not have such an attitude towards his life-saving benefactor at first, but the situation when they met for the first time was not very good.
After Su Zhan was rescued, he felt guilty that he had dragged his feet, Gu Junyan had to worry a lot in order to take care of him, he even wanted to die, and he didn't drink the medicine sent by Qi Shuying.
And then...... Then Qi Shuying clamped his hands and forcibly poured the medicine!
A woman is so powerful! When he saw it for the first time, Su Zhan's eyes almost popped out, and Gu Junyan on the side didn't seem to stimulate him enough, and said casually: "Miss Qi is born with divine power, or is she the one who resisted you back!" ”
Su Zhan lay in bed for a full day before accepting this fact.
"Alas, the prodigy will take revenge." Qi Shuying pretended to sigh and said, "But what should we do, we as doctors, we can't be like patients, let's come, drink the medicine." ”
Drinking medicine is also better than talking to her!
Su Zhan took the medicine bowl and threw it up directly.
Qi Shuying nodded her head with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, it's very progressive, it's much happier than when you drank the medicine for the first time," after a pause, she looked disgusted: "Before I saw you, I really didn't know that such an adult still had a temper and didn't like to drink medicine!" ”
Su Zhan was so angry! I always feel that even if I am injured, sooner or later I will be angry with this woman.
"Stubborn, vulgar, barbaric!" Su Zhan gritted his teeth and said.
Qi Shuying was very self-aware, she bent her eyes: "Thank you for the compliment, the little girl deserves it!" ”
Su Zhan: "......"
General Gu Shao watched with relish from the side, and even the predicament at this time was almost forgotten.
Qi Shuying glanced at Gu Junyan, and then said: "Young General, don't worry, if it's really unbearable, I will take you into the Ethereal Peak, where the mountain roads are complicated, no one will lead the way, you will definitely get lost, I grew up here, I am very familiar with this place, in short, I will definitely save your lives." ”
Gu Junyan thought for a while, nodded, and said gratefully: "Thanks to Miss Qi this time, if you have to do it as a last resort, you have to do this, but now there are too many injuries, it is really not suitable to travel long distances, and if you really get to that point, you have to do it." ”
Qi Shuying looked at Gu Junyan with a serious face: "Even if I have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, I have heard my father say that General Gu is a great hero who defends his family and the country, and now that I can help his descendants, my father will be very happy to come, and the young general does not have to be polite." ”
Su Zhan on the side snorted lightly and said, "There are still two points of deep righteousness. ”
"It's natural, after all, I can help, it's not the same as the kind of dragging!" Qi Shuying looked at Su Zhan and said with a smile.
Su Zhan: "......"
How can there be such a nasty woman in the world! He cursed her that she would never marry for the rest of her life!
Qi Shuying couldn't help but sneeze at this time, and then glanced at Su Zhan suspiciously: "I said, Su Gongzi, you won't secretly scold me in your heart, right?" ”
Su Zhan: "......"
Su Zhan turned his head with a sad and angry face, Gu Junyan glanced at him with some sympathy, and hurriedly reassured Young Master Su when he was about to blow up his hair: "Calm down, Ah Zhan, the life-saving benefactor, she is your life-saving benefactor!" ”
It's good that Gu Junyan didn't mention it, but he was even more sad and angry when he mentioned it, such a nasty woman could still save him! I can't live this day.
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Major General, it's our military flag! A soldier ran in from outside, excited, shouting.
Gu Jun stood up suddenly, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Is it our military flag? It can't be a trick of the Great Liao, right? ”
"It's not! No, Major General, you can go out and see! The soldier said excitedly.
Gu Junyan strode out, and Liu Gui, who had just fought, greeted him in the dust, and knelt down on one knee: "The subordinates are late for rescue, please atone for the sins of the young general!" ”
When Liu Gui saw Gu Junyan, his heart was hot for a while, but he didn't expect Xu Guanyi to guess correctly! Saved Major General Gu, what a great credit is this? After you go back, you don't have to worry about promotions and rewards!
"You ......"
Liu Gui raised his head and said eagerly: "Subordinate Liu Gui, under the command of Vice General Chen, this time I came to look for the young general on the order of the general!" ”
Gu Junyan nodded, this is not the time to speak, so he ordered the whole army to return to the city.
Gu Junyan glanced at Qi Shuying, who was a little at a loss, then looked at Su Zhan, thought for a while, and said: "Miss Qi, thanks to your rescue this time, if you stay here for a day, maybe the Daliao people will come back to retaliate in the future, so it's better to go back with us, and have a good response." ”
Qi Shuying hesitated for a moment, and Su Zhan said: "Let's go back together, the province wants to say that Young Master Ben will not repay the favor!" ”
Qi Shuying looked at Su Zhan and said with a smile: "Since Su Gongzi wants me to go back with me so much, then I have no choice but to be disrespectful." ”
Su Zhan was so angry that he almost blew up again, Gu Junyan shook his head helplessly, and ordered someone to help clean up his things.
The group left the bottom of the Ethereal Peak, and on the way back, Gu Junyan also praised Liu Gui: "Yes, I actually thought that I could hide here, but I didn't expect that the army would hide the dragon and crouching tiger so much." ”
Liu Guifu smiled and said: "The young general praised it falsely, where did his subordinates think of this, this is all an order from Master Su and General Gu, guessing that the young general may be here." ”
Gu Junyan was stunned for a moment: "Master Su? ”
It's not that Gu Junyan underestimated his father, Gu Yanshan led the troops to fight and used the soldiers like a god, but he didn't know anything about strategy.
"No, it's Master Su, Gongzi's father!" Liu Gui said with a smile.
Liu Gui didn't dare to be greedy for this merit, Gu Junyan would know when he went back, it was better to tell the truth now.
Lord Su! Gu Junyan couldn't help pursing his lips, and glanced at Su Zhan meaningfully, both of them had a sense of epiphany.
As soon as Gu Junyan returned to the barracks, the news of the major general's return spread like wings.
Gu Yanshan strode into the camp tent, "Stinky boy, it's really getting more and more useless, you were beaten so embarrassed by a few Da Liao people, have you learned your military books and martial arts?" ”
When Gu Junyan disappeared, General Gu was really worried for a while, but now that his son has returned safely, General Gu feels that others are tired of dogs.
Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows: "Dad, if you don't want me to come back, I can also cooperate with the disappearance for a while." ”
Gu Yanshan touched his head a little embarrassed, and said with a little sneer: "Actually...... In fact, there is nothing wrong with going missing. ”
Gu Junyan's expression sank suddenly, and then he listened to Gu Yanshan continue: "Didn't I just have a twist with the emperor, saying that you were killed by a spy and your whereabouts are unknown, I estimate that this twist and turn should only reach the emperor's hands, you will come back so soon, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the emperor." ”
"Dad gave the emperor a twist? Why? Gu Junyan asked in amazement.
"Oh, it was Lord Su who said it, Lord Su said, this spy is not in the army, but in the capital, don't put some pressure on the emperor, how to find out this spy? The enemy is dark and I am clear, if we go on like this, we are too passive," Gu Yanshan explained indifferently: "I think what he said still has some truth, this literati's brain is easy to ...... Hey, Jun Yan, where are you going? ”
Gu Junyan walked out with a step and went straight to the Taishou Mansion.
Now Su Zhan is also facing an unprecedented embarrassment, according to his assumption, he finally returned from the catastrophe, and his mother is probably going to die in a hurry, right? This time it was him who was wrong, and his mother was worried, so he must comfort his mother.
Chen was really worried, tears fell when she saw him, and then when she saw Qi Shuying, the tears stopped vividly, and when Chen learned that it was Qi Shuying who saved Su Zhan, she had no son in her eyes.
"Miss Qi is really amazing, she has such medical skills at such a young age, and she is so old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and she has the benevolence of a doctor, it's really rare!" Chen said gratefully.
Qi Shuying's demeanor is different from that of ordinary ladies, but she has a hearty and simple feeling, looking at a pure and kind girl, she smiled at Chen: "Mrs. Su is too awarded, since I have already encountered Su Gongzi injured, naturally I can't see death without help." ”
You didn't say that to me in the first place! Su Zhan was so angry that his eyes were about to erupt with fire, he glared at Qi Shuying angrily, and his lips trembled and read: "Despicable and shameless, two sides and three knives, one set in front and one set on the back......"
Chen didn't hear a word, looking at Qi Shuying's eyes with love and gentleness, he was about to pinch out the water.
I can't live this day!
"Miss Qi is my son's life-saving benefactor, I must be grateful, why don't you live in our house first," Chen said enthusiastically: "It's going to be cold this weather, why are you still wearing such thin clothes?" Your body shape is about the same as Ah Wan, I just made two clothes for Ah Wan a few days ago, and I haven't put it on yet, so I'll wear it first, and I'll call the tailor to make a new ...... tomorrow."
Chen is a mother, and the way she shows love for her children is to be afraid of cold and hunger.
Qi Shuying resigned again and again: "This, how is this good?" After speaking, he looked at Su Yunlai apologetically, as if he was guilty of robbing her clothes.
Su Yunlai pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss Qi doesn't have to be so polite, you saved my third brother, it's just two clothes, and please don't dislike it." ”
In this way, if Qi Shuying resigns again, he will become disgusted.
Qi Shuying couldn't help but glance at Su Yunlai, this girl seemed to be gentle and kind, but she couldn't be refused, and she seemed to be smarter than Su Zhan.
Qi Shuying has lived in the mountains since she was a child, grew up with small animals, and knows some spirituality, and her perception of danger is a little more than others, and her intuition is that this soft and weak girl seems to be very powerful, anyway, she is much stronger than Su Zhan's nerd, so Qi Shuying smiled at Su Yunlai a little flattering, like a simple cub pleasing her master.
Su Yunlai couldn't help but be stunned, and Qi Shuying was pulled by Chen to change clothes.
"Rude and barbaric, unsightly, insulting!" Su Zhan was so angry that he couldn't stop chattering.
Su Yunlai shook his head and smiled, and then Gu Junyan came.
Su Zhan saw that Gu Junyan's head began to hurt again, when they were in the mountains before, the two got along happily, of course, the main reason was that Gu Junyan intended to befriend him, after all, the eldest brother could not be offended, but after all, it was when he was in trouble.
Now that he is back, Su Zhan looked at Gu Junyan, and then at his flowery sister, and felt that something was wrong, but now that they are friends of life and death, he is embarrassed to drive people like before, and for a while, his face can't help but look ugly.
Gu Junyan came to Su Yun this time for business: "Did you make my father's play?" ”
Su Yunlai was not surprised that Gu Junyan could guess this, she nodded, with two points of sharpness in her eyes: "Yes, I asked my father to find the old general Gu," paused, and she said with two points of stubbornness in her tone: "You guys will have an accident this time, you were framed, you can not be held accountable, but I don't have such a good measure!" ”
Gu Junyan looked at her awe-inspiring expression, contrary to the gentle and supple in the past, like a phoenix bathing in fire, spreading its wings, just to protect the people she cared about.
General Gu Shao ignored Su Zhan by himself, and only counted himself as the person she cared about.
Gu Junyan slowed down his voice: "I don't blame you, it's just that what's going on, you tell me, I can help you anyway." ”
"Don't worry, I've taken care of it." Su Yunlai said lightly: "When you disappeared, I had already written a letter to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, asking him to operate in the capital, and this time the matter was in the capital. ”
Su Zhan's expression was solemn: "Out of Beijing? Isn't it ......."
The Gu family and Li Sheng have a common enemy.
Su Yunlai shook her head: "It won't be ......" She stretched out her finger and pointed to the sky, and continued: "But others may not be able to say, there are many people who want the Gu family to be unlucky." ”
Even if the emperor wants to frame the Gu family, he will not unite the Great Liao Kingdom, this is the dignity and bottom line of an emperor, but the people next to him may not be able to say it.
"Even if it's not...... But judging from the usual situation, in the end, it will not be over, and the big thing will be small. Su Zhan snorted lightly and said.
This kind of thing has not happened before, Li Sheng was poisoned, and the fire in Fahua Temple, in the end, they were all lifted up and gently put down.
Su Yun glanced at Gu Junyan: "You disappeared once, I can't let you suffer in vain, so I asked the old general Gu to play a fold, and ask the emperor to be the master of the suffering generals at the border pass, with your merits and prestige, this time the emperor must give an explanation!" ”
"Even so, when the time comes, a scapegoat will be introduced...... Su Zhan said.
Su Yunlai shook his head: "So, timing, timing is very important." She curled the corners of her lips meaningfully: "Now that the war is imminent, the results of the emperor's investigation are likely to affect the morale of the soldiers at the border pass, even if the emperor wants to calm things down, he must think about whether the 200,000 troops at the border pass will agree!" ”
Su Zhan was dumbfounded: "You, aren't you forcing ...... to persecute the emperor?"
"No, I didn't force him." Su Yunlai said with a smile.
Gu Junyan thought about it, but he had already figured it out, he nodded: "Yes, how can it be said that Ah Wan forced him, it was obviously the spy behind the scenes who forced him." ”
It is impossible for any emperor to tolerate rebellious ministers and thieves who collaborate with the enemy and treason, and Emperor Qianyuan will soon understand that it is the Gu family who is putting pressure on him, even if he is angry with the Gu family, but he hates that spy even more! It was that spy who forced the Gu family to jump over the wall in a hurry, so that the emperor had to give an explanation.
And compared to the Gu family, the spy who communicated privately with the Great Liao State was even more intolerable to Emperor Qianyuan! If you can sell a batch of grain and grass today, won't you sell the country another day?
Su Zhan is not stupid, he understands when he hears this, he can't help but glance at Su Yunlai, and sighs slightly: "In that situation at that time, you can still think of this, and you can also take into account the positions of many parties, Ah Wan, I am really not as good as you." ”
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Gu Junyan's words that he was not as smart as Ah Wan, which was not unreasonable.
Su Yunlai sneered: "My family is missing and in danger, no one should think about this matter!" After a pause, she glanced at Gu Junyan with some pity: "It was my third brother who was injured this time, if it was a major general, I could make them even worse." "It's a pity.
Gu Junyan and Su Zhan: "......"
