Chapter 377: Impatient
Chapter 377: Impatient
The sound of good news was deafening and resounded throughout the imperial city. Vertex updates are the fastest
The East Palace Prince's Mansion, which is close to the palace, and the princess Lu in the palace heard the good news of 800 miles, and she was also so excited that she burst into tears.
Hurry into the palace.
I hope that I can know her son's news as soon as possible.
Helan Mingyue and the princess's maids also followed closely.
Gu Tingcheng flew all the way back to the palace, both happy but mixed with joy.
Although the good news came, why didn't Tuoba contact him?
It stands to reason that when he captured Guangling, he should give him good news.
Since the war with Liu Song, the Great Wei has added post stations, and the information of the imperial city and the battlefield has been conveyed almost anytime and anywhere.
The number of postmen who specialize in conveying information has also increased dozens of times at once.
Eight hundred miles of expedited rain or shine, flying like the wind.
Thousands of miles a day.
But since Guangling rushed back, it will take more than a day.
But why hasn't there been any news of Tuoba in the past few days?
Was he seriously injured?
She suffers from gains and losses, and is anxious.
With doubts and anxiety, he also ran to the Taihua Hall in a hurry.
On the way, even if the palace people were curious about why the county lord of Anping was running in the palace without honor, she couldn't care so much.
Naturally, Feihong Feiyan followed behind her.
The emperor was discussing with his ministers in the Taihua Palace, and suddenly heard the good news, and he was ecstatic, and the ministers were also overjoyed.
Zong Ai took the good news from the messenger and presented it to the emperor with both hands.
The emperor was overjoyed after reading it, and said loudly:
"The Flying Eagle General is really good, and he lives up to the name of the Great Wei God of War! After the army swept through Guazhou, it has now taken Guangling City! ”
"Taken Guangling City......"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty......"
"General Gaoyang Wang Feiying, it really lives up to expectations......"
"The Great Wei God of War is well deserved......"
……
The congratulatory voices of the ministers were endless.
Tuoba Yu also bowed his hand, with a look of surprise, and said modestly:
"Congratulations to my father, all of this is my father's great talent and good use of talents.
Er is brave and good at fighting, invincible, and Yu Er is also proud of himself as his imperial uncle.
Yu Er only regretted that he was mediocre and stupid, and failed to be his father and emperor with his son, and shared his worries for Dawei.
In the future, Yu'er will also take his son as an example and do his best for his father and the Great Wei! ”
"Okay, my father knows, and Yu'er also has a heart." The emperor bowed his head happily to Tuoba Yu.
Zai Langsheng smiled at the ministers:
Listed as a minister, Liu Song once threatened that the bronze wall of Guangling City was impregnable, and it was the rock of Mount Tai that guarded Liu Song.
Now Gaoyang Wang Feiying is a general, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles! Our army was so strong that it took Guangling in Jincheng Tangchi in one fell swoop.
Guangling is the throat of Liu Song, and it is only a river away from Jiankang.
Even if Jiankang has the Yangtze River moat as a barrier, my Flying Eagle General is brave and will definitely be able to fly across.
Now that my Great Wei is sitting firmly at the throat of Jiankang, according to this, it is just around the corner to point to Jiankang, exterminate Liu Song, and unify the north and south! ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty......"
"Great Wei Mighty ......"
The ministers congratulated happily again.
The crown princess outside the hall, Helan Mingyue, and Gu Qingcheng also smiled at the same time.
"In addition, I asked for the title of several generals who were brave and good at fighting and made great achievements in this battle, but their lives were in danger, and the general knew how to be sympathetic to his subordinates. I've gotten it all right! ”
Then he shouted loudly: "Spread the Golden Gate to wait for the edict, draft the decree!" ”
There was a golden gate to wait for the edict to quickly prepare the holy decree, and the emperor stamped the jade seal on the holy decree.
Zong Ai handed the sealed holy decree to the postman.
The postman received the holy decree, but in fact, when the emperor and his ministers celebrated, he was already frowning and worried.
It seems that he can't bear to sweep away the interest of His Majesty and the ministers.
At this time, he hesitated:
"Your Majesty, Guangling is impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the Great Wei took Guangling, but ...... Killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 themselves, and when attacking the city, our army also suffered heavy casualties.
Many soldiers were burned by the black boiling oil poured down by the enemy, and General Gaoyang Wang Feiying took the lead and ...... General Gaoyang Wang was also seriously injured, and he still has a high fever and is in a coma! ”
"Boom !!"
The last words of the post man were like a major meteor hammer, hitting Gu Qingcheng's chest standing outside the Taihua Palace.
She was shaken to the ground, and her face suddenly lost its color.
I felt that my eyes were black, my legs were weak all of a sudden, and I fell to the ground weakly.
Uncontrollable tears, like a burst embankment surging wildly.
No wonder, he hasn't been in touch with himself these days.
Guangling was easy to defend and difficult to attack, he not only had to attack the city day and night, but was also seriously injured and unconscious.
How do you look at yourself?!
Feihong Feiyan, who arrived later, hurriedly helped Gu Qingcheng up.
"County Lord, you have to be straight." Fei Hong said in a low, nervous voice.
As soon as Princess Lu heard that Tuoba was seriously injured and had not woken up yet, she fainted outside the Taihua Palace.
"! What happened to you? Come on! ……”
Cai Wei, the personal aunt beside the crown princess, shouted nervously.
"Aunt Crown Princess, wake up! ......" Helan Mingyue also screamed in fright.
The shouts alarmed the emperor and the ministers in the Taihua Palace, and the emperor and the civil and military officials ran out.
The emperor looked at the crown princess who fell to the ground, and asked in astonishment:
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, as soon as the crown princess heard that His Royal Highness King Gaoyang was seriously injured and did not wake up, she fainted."
Cai Wei was so anxious that she cried, she was worried about the crown princess and worried about King Gaoyang.
Helan Mingyue is also rippling with tears, and she is also very worried about Her Royal Highness cousin.
At this time, Tuoba Tao saw Gu Qingcheng with tears streaming down his face on the side, and he didn't have time to ask more, so he hurriedly said:
"Allure, what's wrong with you? Come and see the Crown Princess! ”
“…… Good. ”
Gu Tingcheng wanted to control his tears, but the rushing tears were still rolling down.
I can no longer hide my worries about Tuoba.
Tuoba Tao saw Gu Qingcheng's sadness and concern, overflowing with words, and immediately understood.
It turns out that Allure really likes it!
"You"
Tuoba Tao didn't know what to say for a moment.
Gu Qingcheng came over and pinched the crown princess's people, and the princess woke up slowly.
"Okay, the crown princess is fine." Gu Qingcheng lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice.
Gu Qingcheng wiped his tears again and hurriedly walked to the messenger.
There were tears in his eyes, and he held back it, so that his voice choked up, and he asked anxiously:
"You said that many soldiers and His Royal Highness King Gaoyang were burned and scalded?
His Royal Highness King Gaoyang has a high fever and has not woken up?
What happened to him? Can you explain clearly? ”
“…… Our army captured Guangling City, and Liu Song was defeated. His Royal Highness the King of Gaoyang has been seriously injured and has been suffering from a high fever, so he barely ordered the postman to pass on the good news, and then fainted...... Passed out in a coma. Even...... In short, the situation is ...... Very unoptimistic......"
The postman said worriedly, he wanted to say that he had fainted and died, life and death were uncertain, but he looked at the emperor and changed his words.
But everyone understood what he meant in a subtle way.
Gu Tingcheng's chest was like boiling oil, tumbling and surging, and the tears could no longer be controlled, flying like a torrent.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, didn't have time to wipe her tears, immediately knelt in front of Tuoba Tao, and said:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Gaoyang and so many soldiers have been burned, although the military doctor has badger oil, but the badger oil is expensive and not enough.
Please send it back eight hundred miles at once, and order someone to go and cut the willow bark and lard at once, and boil it into scalding ointment.
Being scalded by boiling oil is not trivial, if you have a high fever that does not go away and you are unconscious, I am afraid that you will ...... Yes, you won't wake up! ”
The crown princess may not wake up when she hears it, and she falls to the ground softly, but fortunately, Cai Wei and Helan Mingyue hold on tightly.
"Good!"
Tuoba Tao didn't have time to eat Tuoba's vinegar, after all, he was the most proud grandson.
Immediately, the other party said to the postman: "Immediately send it back in an urgent manner for 800 miles, let people cut willow bark and lard, boil it into scalding ointment, and heal the soldiers!" ”
"Yes!"
The postman was just about to leave, but Gu Qingcheng stopped him again: "Wait! ”
The porter stopped and looked at her.
Gu Tingcheng said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Allure will also set off immediately!" ”
"You're going too?" The Emperor frowned slightly.
Gu Qingcheng was in a hurry:
"His Royal Highness King Gaoyang has been in a high fever and unconscious, I am afraid that the accompanying military doctor has mishandled it, or that the boiling oil, there is something strange.
There are so many wounded soldiers, their lives are also in danger, and Allure must rush to save them! ”
“…… Thousands of miles away, do you really want to go to Guangling? Tuoba Tao frowned again.
A wave of jealousy suddenly surged in my heart.
"Yes, I have to go, and I can't wait." Gu Qingcheng looked at Tuoba Tao without a little hesitation, "Now no one can guarantee whether His Royal Highness King Gaoyang can wake up!" ”
Tuoba Tao looked at Allure's clear eyes, the persistence and anxiety on his face.
In the end, he couldn't bear to disobey the girl and spoil her jaw.
Said to the postman: "Then send the message back to Guangling, the county lord of Anping will arrive later, and all the post stations along the way will be ready to serve at any time!" ”
"Yes!" The postman took the command and hurried away.
Tuoba Tao looked at Gu Qingcheng again, with mixed tastes:
"The medical skills of Allure, I am the most assured, with you going, I am also at ease." Tuoba Tao nodded.
The crown princess who woke up saw that Gu Qingcheng cared so much about her son, and couldn't help but look at Gu Qingcheng with emotion.
In my heart, I have no prejudice against Gu Qingcheng.
In fact, she originally liked Gu Qingcheng very much.
If it weren't for her lower status, if it weren't for the fact that she was the doll of King Nan'an, if it weren't for His Majesty's liking of her.
She also has no objection to her son liking such a wonderful woman.
Of course, Gu Qingcheng's nervousness about Tuoba was also seen by Tuoba Yu.
His eyes flashed with a glint of cold and pain.
The emperor turned to Li Yi nearby and instructed:
"Deputy Commander Li, you choose ten agile Imperial Forest Soldiers to escort the county lord of Anping to Guangling.
Remember, you must bring back the county lord and the king of Gaoyang Ping'an. You know what?! ”
"The last general obeys!" Li Yi hugged his fists.
He glanced at Gu Qingcheng again, knowing that she was anxious, and hurriedly said:
"Wait a minute, the county lord will choose someone, and you can leave immediately!"
"Okay, you go and get ready first. I also have to say goodbye to my ancestors. ”
After Gu Qingcheng finished speaking to Li Yi, he said to Feihong Feiyan:
"You go back and pack your simple bags first, the medicine box is inconvenient to carry, so use a satchel instead, and bring all the ready-made pills for treating knife wounds and burns. I've gone to see the old ancestor, so let's leave immediately! ”
"Yes, Lord ......"
Feihong Feiyan was ordered to rush back to Yuxiu Palace to clean up.
The emperor waved his hand to the ministers and motioned for everyone to disperse.
Tuoba Yu also reluctantly glanced at Allure before leaving.
The emperor sent everyone to retreat, and Gu Tingcheng knew that he had something to say to him in private.
Sure enough, the emperor stared at Allure and asked:
"You are in a hurry to go to Guangling, is it really just to treat the King of Gaoyang and the soldiers?"
Gu Tingcheng just wanted to speak, but the emperor stopped him again:
"I want to listen to what you hide in your heart!"
Gu Qingcheng looked at the emperor's cold face, and then knelt in front of him:
"Your Majesty, I love Tuoba, and if anything happens to him, I won't live alone.
Allure knows that there is still a providential bet with His Majesty, and we have not yet won or lost, and during this period, Allure cannot love anyone.
But now that he is unconscious, his life and death are uncertain, even if His Majesty is angry and wants to kill and scrape, he can't stop me from rushing to him. ”
The emperor listened to Allure's words, and for a while, his heart really didn't feel good.
The emperor's face sank.
"Listen to your words, and you will know how much you love you deeply. Could it be that you have already been reluctant to do so? ”
After a pause, he said coldly:
"Say, when will it start?!"
Gu Tingcheng really can't tell the truth at the moment, he is still a baby kiss with Tuoba Yu, and he is happy with Tuoba Yu.
can only lie without changing his face:
"King Gaoyang married Princess Xianji for my resistance, and he would rather lose the prince and lose the military exploits he has gained in nine deaths. Allure is not hard-hearted, and I am not without emotion in my heart......"
Although he told a white lie, he lowered his eyes with a little shyness.
The Emperor sighed heavily:
"That's it, girl, you and I have won the providential bet. None of the geese I hunted have survived for less than a month, let alone three months.
Since then, you and I have been friends for the year, father and daughter. Who are you going to love, Uncle Mountain, and don't interfere with the girl. ”
Gu Qingcheng jumped up happily, hugged Tuoba Tao tightly, leaned on his arms, like a coquettish daughter:
"Thank you, uncle!"
At this moment, if Gu Qingcheng was amnesty, she was so excited that she took the initiative to hold herself.
Looking at her so excited, Tuoba Tao could only bury that love in his heart.
That's it, from now on, I will treat her as a daughter!
Gu Tingcheng said goodbye to the emperor again, "Your Majesty, then Allure is gone." ”
"Okay, Allure, you can take a good look at it on my behalf.
The road is far away, and your daughter's house, although there are post houses along the way, don't run too quickly.
Erji people are in heaven, I believe that it will be fine, and you don't have to worry too much. ”
Tuoba Tao admonished like a loving father.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes, full of gratitude, knowing that the emperor had acquiesced to being with Tuoba.
The joy in my heart is indescribable.
Gu Tingcheng said goodbye to the emperor and rushed over to visit his ancestors.
I checked the pulse of the ancestor, but fortunately, according to the pulse of the ancestor, her condition has not deteriorated.
If you continue to recuperate, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Little Allure City, isn't there already good news, you, why do you still want to go to Guangling?"
The old ancestor was lying on the soft couch and asked weakly the little allure who knelt in front of him.
Allure smiled lightly: "It's a good thing that the good news came, but there are many soldiers who are injured, and Xiao Chengcheng wants to rush over to see them." ”
What a smart person the ancestor was, if he wanted to rush over the city thousands of miles away, Tuoba must have been injured.
"Son, you're hurt too, aren't you?" The old ancestor asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Ancestor, Tuoba was only slightly injured and is fine. I'll go see the other wounded soldiers, and I'll just look at him by the way. Gu Qingcheng comforted.
"Oh, that's right." The old ancestor was stunned.
After a pause, he said worriedly:
"This is going to Guangling, thousands of miles away, you can come back safely, the ancestors are still waiting, drink your happy wine."
"Obey the will of our ancestors, and we will definitely come back safely."
Gu Qingcheng said softly, and put the hand of the old ancestor on his face.
The old ancestor looked at the coquettish little Allure City, and tears appeared in his eyes.
"Ancestor, I really can't bear to fall into the city."
The two of them leaned on each other tightly, Gu Tingcheng's tears fell, and he choked up:
"The love of the elders that Xiao Chengcheng lacked in those years, the ancestors have made up for Xiao Chengcheng.
The ancestors must be well-behaved, and wait for the little allure to come back. ”
"My poor child, you are the flesh and blood of the ancestors, and the hearts and livers of the ancestors.
The ancestors naturally want to give you the best in the world to make up for the debts that the ancestors owe to you. ”
The old ancestor was also teary-eyed, and he was very reluctant to fall into the city.
"Make it up to us?" Gu Qingcheng looked at the old ancestor in astonishment, "Old ancestor, where do you start?" ”
The old ancestor hesitated for a moment, and stroked Gu Qingcheng's face:
"When the ancestors saw you, they remembered when they were young, and they remembered the past, and they just felt a little emotional."
Gu Qingcheng only said that the old ancestor was a little confused again, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Tingcheng lay in the arms of the old ancestor again, and said softly:
"Fortunately, the ancestor's body is weaker now, but it is not a big deal. Ancestors must take care, we will come back to see Ancestors soon. ”
At this time, An Lingtina heard that Gu Qingcheng was going to Guangling, and was bidding farewell to her ancestors.
also rushed to Wanshou Palace.
first greeted the ancestor, and then said to Gu Tingcheng:
"Second sister rest assured, you can go to Guangling with peace of mind, the ancestor here, there is the eldest sister on your behalf, and I come to the ancestor every day to say goodbye."
"Then thank you, big sister." Gu Tingcheng also hugged An Lingtina.
"We are sisters, and it is supposed to take care of your ancestors on your behalf. What's more, the eldest sister is a noble person of His Majesty, and she should have come every day to greet her ancestors and serve her bedside. ”
Gu Qingcheng nodded slightly gratefully.
Anlingtina was generous and decent:
"Sister, don't worry. It's just that when I go out safely, I have to give it to my eldest sister and return safely! ”
"Yes, big sister." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.
Gu Qingcheng saw that the old ancestor's body could indeed hold on, so he told Imperial Doctor Li to continue to take care of the old ancestor.
and repeatedly told Mama Rong not to take the old ancestor to blow the wind and get cold and any stimulation before leaving the Wanshou Palace.
