Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 67 The Boy of Majia Village
In the tent of the garrison barracks, Lan Yunxuan, who was sitting opposite Gu Xuan, looked down at the teacup in front of him, and his heart was very entangled.
Now the handle is in the hands of others, although they are not explicitly threatening, but since they are so high-minded and say that they don't blame you garrisons, then their own side can't be indifferent.
In his opinion, going to Huangsha County, Laoshizi, is an act of sending him to death, that is, someone wants him to die, so once the general Zuo he represents accidentally saves him, won't he be involved in the whirlpool of the capital? To be honest, they don't dare, and they don't deserve it.
Throughout the ages, which military general have you ever seen who can fight the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty? In the final analysis, no matter how much you can fight, you will die if you can't fight with one mouth.
The moment he saw this prince, he suddenly understood why he ordered the withdrawal of those garrisons in Huangsha County a few days ago, and he was still thinking that the county was at least a relative of the general's Yuanfang, although he was not familiar with it, but that side was the legitimate defense area of the Youzhou Army, how could it be more than that, and the reason seemed to be here.
Not to mention sending him to that kind of poor mountain and bad water, there are also people who ordered the withdrawal of the garrison in advance, isn't this obviously harmful?
He was now in such a dilemma, and even began to wonder if this prince had deliberately gone to trouble those horse bandits, and then deliberately got injured, otherwise how could he climb the relationship with the Youzhou army here? If this is the case, then it can prove the conjecture in his heart.
After thinking about it, Lan Yunxuan still stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "General Zuo is grateful for the benevolence and righteousness of the prince, and after learning that the prince's guards on this trip are insufficient, for the sake of the prince's safety, he specially dispatched a guard from the tiger army to escort the prince to the fiefdom. β
Others didn't dare to say it, but it was a matter of course to send troops to escort a prince to the back cover in their own jurisdiction, and people who wanted to come to the capital would not have a casual relationship with a general Zuo who had been in the army all his life and had a wide range of connections because of this thing, and it would be a big deal to draw a line with this kid afterwards.
This Tiger Army also has a great background, it is one of the nine armies of the empire, the most fierce in the border army of the Youzhou Army, the most experienced in combat, an iron-blooded light horse, equipment, war horses, enjoy the best rationing in the entire Youzhou Army, each soldier is the elite of the elite specially drawn out, the Tiger Ben Army is not an exaggeration to say that it is General Zuo's heart, sending this level of team to escort, it is naturally General Zuo's intention, otherwise there are more people who can escort, you are no problem with transferring people from the local army, in the final analysis, there is still one thing that is afraid of one thingγ
This prince can die wherever you want, don't die on the territory of Youzhou, I don't care what you fight for, since I can't afford this responsibility, then I have to ensure his safety.
Gu Xuan suddenly arched his hand with a grateful face: "This trip is only two more days' journey, why bother?"
"The reason is also to let the prince go to work with peace of mind, after all, this is already next to the border, the road is not particularly safe, the situation in Huangsha County has also heard a little or two, this trip to go, there are many things waiting for the prince to hand over. β
Lan Yunxuan said lightly, the subtext is just one sentence, everyone has arranged it for you, you don't have to worry about the safety issue, just get out of here.
Gu Xuan nodded, and didn't say anything, just said seriously: "That's very good, then we'll set off tomorrow." β
Lan Yunxuan's task was completed, and he didn't have the heart to waste any more time talking here, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you for your understanding, then I will leave here, there are many things in the army, and the Shu Kingdom in the west is ready to move, so I have to go back as soon as possible." β
Seeing that this person didn't plan to stay longer for a moment, there was nothing polite to say, Gu Xuan naturally didn't keep it without interest, but just replied reasonably.
"Don't dare to trouble Mr. again, sir, please rest assured to go back, Jinglong, send off Mr. β
Lan Yunxuan hurriedly waved his hand and said sincerely: "No need, let's let the head of the thousand households stay here to take care of the prince, and say goodbye first, outside the camp gate tomorrow, there will be a tiger army waiting." β
"Thank you, sir, for being injured and inconvenient to stand up. Gu Xuan sat in place and said helplessly.
Lan Yunxuanba had to entangle more, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to bother the prince, I hope the prince recovers soon." β
After Lan Yunxuan finally left, Gu Xuan got up and carefully closed the tent door, Jinglong did not follow up, but still left with Lan Yunxuan, the army staff officer under General Zuo, and he was the only one left in the tent now.
Lan Yunxuan actually guessed correctly, he did have the idea of climbing the Youzhou Army.
Huangsha County is located on the border, and now because it has become its own private fiefdom, the original garrison has been withdrawn by the imperial court, and in the case of almost all the local young and strong people have moved away, if there is no one to defend the city, what should we do? Is it just that he and Jinglong are two people to face the alien tribes and a huge number of horse bandits in the desert? That is a fantasy!
It's just that I didn't expect this Lan Yunxuan to be so cautious, and looking at the change in the other party's face, I was afraid that I felt that I had been exiled here, so I didn't dare to say that I would help myself, but now it was impossible to take the initiative to explain anything to them, and even from the government and the opposition, except for the crown prince Gu Cang, who personally directed all this, everyone thought that this unlucky fifth prince was kicked out first, and the end seemed to be quite miserable, who dared to say that he took the initiative to help him?
At this moment, Gu Xuan was a little nostalgic for the night book, it was a book after all, and the officials were in charge of the promotion of officials, and the authority was great, and it could be called the head of the six departments, but if Gu Xuan took the initiative to ask for his help, it would be impossible.
Alas, Gu Xuan couldn't help but sigh, he still had to form his own team, and as soon as his mind moved, he immediately got up and shouted.
"Someone!"
The two guards stationed outside quickly pushed the door open after hearing his shout.
Wearing armor, the winter clothes are heavy and bloated, it is really inconvenient to perform the full salute, both of them knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and saluted: "What does the prince command?"
Gu Xuan said gently: "Bother the two of you, bring that young man from Majia Village." β
"Yes!"
The two of them loudly took the order, and after a while, the thin young man from Majia Village was brought in, Gu Xuan waved his hand, and the two guards immediately saluted with interest, and quickly retreated one after the other, and did not forget to bring the door when leaving, which made Gu Xuan quite satisfied.
When the two of them left, Gu Xuan looked at this side again, and the young man stepped forward with a twist, bowed and saluted uneasily: "King, prince." β
In the end, he is a fourteen-year-old boy, after knowing that the young man in front of him is the king of Liangguo, he can no longer simply treat the other party as a benefactor, especially after seeing the cowardice of the garrison general, he has always had a sense of nervousness, in the end, he is just an ordinary farmer's mud legs.
Gu Xuan looked at the young man in front of him and smiled kindly, instantly diluting the alienation and tension between the other party because of their status.
"Sit!"
"Oh, oh, good. β
The peasant boy in Majia Village didn't know so much etiquette, since the prince asked him to sit, he naturally sat down obediently opposite Gu Xuan, but his legs were tightly together, his hands were honestly on his knees, and he sat upright, not daring to move.
"Hahahaha. Gu Xuan looked at the restrained young man in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, he vaguely saw the shadow of his childhood in a trance, and thought that the other party was a simple young man who dared to risk death alone to find the garrison in order to repay his kindness, and looked at the other party more pleasing to the eye at the moment, "Don't be so restrained, what's your name." β
"Ahh The young man was stunned for a moment, hesitating whether to bow before answering, but looking at the other party's Akagi eyes, he was blessed to the heart, and immediately replied, "I, my name is Ma Mingze." β
Gu Xuan didn't rush to throw an olive branch to the other party, but chatted with the other party first, and after narrowing the distance between the two sides, he began to ask seriously according to his original intention: "Mingze, what are your plans next?"
Ma Mingze was stunned for a moment, obviously this question stumped him, he was an orphan who grew up in Majia Village, only fourteen years old, and now that his home has been destroyed, everyone is almost dead, what can he do.
"Let's go back and rebuild the village first, and then find out Aunt Wang, Xiaomei, and Grandpa and bury them. β
The young man's voice suddenly became a little low, and it was not until the prince mentioned this problem that the young man, who had been in the tragic scene of escaping death a few days ago, suddenly realized that he had no home.
There are some things that you won't know until you wake up later.
Gu Xuan said with concern: "But there are still three horse bandits who ran away, you go back, it's hard to guarantee that they won't retaliate." β
The young man ignored this question, just lowered his head, grabbed his trouser legs with both hands, and said with some crying: "Lord Wang, why are there horse bandits, we are all living in peace, why did such a thing happen?"
Seeing that the other party was suddenly emotional, Gu Xuan looked at the young man sympathetically, and also felt something, sighed helplessly, and then gently put his hand on the other party's shoulder, the latter raised his head, his face was full of tears, and he bit his lip tightly, as if he didn't want to cry.
Gu Xuan lowered his head, stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the tears on the young man's face, and said in a serious and serious tone: " The people can't live and work in peace and contentment, it's our fault, my second brother told me, if even ordinary people walk on the road to worry about being killed at any time, that's the shame of our entire human race, he wants to change this era, I agree with this idea, that's why I came here, I believe that there will be no more horse bandits in the future, there will be no more aggression, in the future each of us will be equal and free, everyone will live and work in peace and contentment, be kind and charitable, Mingze, do you want that kind world?"
"I, Gu Xuan, the king of Hedong County of Liangguo, officially invite you to join us and go to Huangsha County with me to establish such a world, are you willing?"
The young man tilted his head and was suddenly stunned, because he had never seen such a pair of sincere and pure eyes, and because he was deeply moved by the content of the other party's words, what a beautiful world should that kind of world be?
Grandpa said let yourself live well, then it can be regarded as a good life.
Gu Xuan firmly believes that if he is on the road of truth, then naturally someone will follow him, he looked at the young man in front of him, extremely sincere, like a light on the road, a torch in the dark.
Young Ma Mingze felt that what was in front of him was the most important choice in his life.
Do you go back and be an ordinary man, or follow this prince to build such a world together?
Do you need to think about it too much, he took a deep breath and nodded very seriously and vigorously.
