Chapter 16: The Gu Family's Predicament

It was only seven or eight days from the east to Liushi City in northern Liaoning, and Gu Changhuan and the others stopped and stopped all the way, and they walked for half a month.

Ten miles away from Leaving Stone City, Gu Changhuan excused himself to slow down the carriage and horses under the pretext of driving on a bumpy road, and then drove the probe to check the situation on the road ahead.

Gu Changhuan, who was bored in the carriage, played with the folding fan in his hand, shook off a red plum with satisfaction, and said, "Lan Lao, what do you think of my fan?" ”

The white-haired old man sitting opposite him was looking down at the medicine book in his hand, and he didn't even give him a corner of his eye.

Gu Changhuan didn't care, closed the fan with his backhand, opened the gold curtain of the carriage, and said silently, "Liushi is almost here." ”

Gu Changhuan didn't know whether to tell himself or Lan Lao, looking at the mountain scenery in the distance, his father's words before leaving, the words were still in his ears, and a trace of sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

The old man Muran closed the medical book with his head bowed, and looked ahead with dull eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

Gu Changhuan had long been accustomed to Lan Lao being stupid when he read a medical book, so he shook it in front of Lan Lao when he opened the fan again, and said with a smile, "I've returned to my soul, Lan Lao." ”

Lan Lao's eyes slowly became bright, he waved away Gu Changhuan's naughty fan, stared at Gu Changhuan's demonic face, and said a little angrily, "The prince is playing tricks on old decay again?" ”

Gu Changhuan put away the folding fan and said with a smile, "Lan Lao can be said to be funny, even if Gu Changwu has the courage to lend me, I won't dare." ”

Lan Lao's eyes were narrow, "Shizi, if you have anything unspeakable, you can tell the old man that you are rumored to be good at Longyang." ”

Gu Changhuan was uninhibited, and said aggrievedly, "Old Lan, you watched me grow up, and you also used the jokes outside to make fun of me." ”

Lan Lao, who was still smiling just now, said with a straight face, "I haven't seen the prince for many years, when I left the Hou Mansion, the prince was still young, how can I see any sexual preferences." ”

Gu Changhuan flipped over his sleeves, the white robe was worn on him, and he actually had a sense of grace, sighed, and said,

"I understand better than Gu Changwu that the brand of the Marquis of Anding Mansion is a knife hanging over the head of our Gu family."

"Shizi, no matter how much you defile yourself, you really have a habit of dragon yang, the one in the palace will still not rest assured." Lan Lao looked at Gu Changhuan and sighed softly.

Gu Changhuan repeatedly played with the fan bones, played with the fan with a meaningless face, and said, "Who let me have a naΓ―ve and high-performing father." ”

"The Son of Heaven is not wrong to do nothing and has no virtue, as a courtier, his merit is in the community, and his merit is in the history of the people."

Lan Lao looked down at the medical book on his lap and said, "Hou Ye is already a very popular minister, and he can only be sealed by cutting the land and sealing the king with a different surname. ”

Gu Changhuan sneered, "As an emperor, the people were injured by the epidemic, and they didn't think about treatment, but they always wanted to take the opportunity to frame loyal ministers, which was simply mediocre. ”

Speaking of the back, Gu Changhuan had a cold killing intent in his eyes, which quickly disappeared, "This secret decree asked me to lead troops to suppress and control the epidemic area, and even ordered that the three cities should be allowed to enter but not leave, and those who left the city would not be killed." ”

Lan Lao has been in the Gu family for more than 30 years, and when Mrs. Gu had a difficult birth, it was Lan Lao who rushed into the delivery room and pulled Mrs. Gu's mother and daughter back from the ghost gate.

Later, Gu Changhuan's birth also depended on Lan Lao's careful care for Mrs. Gu for several years, which led to Gu Changhuan, in the eyes of the Gu family, Lan Lao and Mrs. Gu were the same.

"His move is to destroy the prestige of Hou Ye in the hearts of the people, and besides, he is afraid that he doesn't want you to leave Liaobei alive." Lan Lao paused, thinking of Gu Changwu's fern donkey, and then said,

"The Gu family has no queen, no matter how many merits the Hou Ye has, after a hundred years, the Gu family can only be slaughtered."

"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, it's ridiculous that Gu Changwu always can't see through it." Speaking of his father's attitude, Gu Changhuan always had an inexplicable irritability.

"Compared with military power, the safety of the son is the most important thing." Lan Lao said with a serious face.

Gu Changhuan heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the car and gradually approached, thinking that the cavalry exploring the road had returned, and picked the car window with a fan, "If you don't have military power, you won't have a family." ”

Lan Lao was silent, and listened to the return of the outside detective with Gu Changhuan, and both of them had a trace of doubt on their faces.

"Revisit." Gu Changhuan's tone was solemn.

The army has arrived three miles outside Liushi City, and there are no corpses all over the place that Gu Changhuan imagined along the way, and the prisoners are all over the ground, except for the fact that there is no figure to be seen along the way, the others do not seem to have been out of the epidemic at all.

After the third road-finding cavalry returned, Gu Changhuan and Lan Lao's expressions became even more weird, but they were still patient and let the soldiers continue to move forward.

It was only a mile away from Liushi City, and after listening to the spies' report, Gu Changhuan and Lan Lao couldn't believe their ears.

Over the years, the plague has broken out, which time is not the poison of the world, the corpses are all over the field, there are several times the whole city has died, there is no life at all, and I have never heard of anyone who can be cured, this Li Youde is not ordinary.

Lan Lao rubbed his hands together excitedly and walked back and forth, and his tone was eager, "I want to go to the city, I want to go to Qingyun Town to meet that Li Youde"

After that, he ran in the separate carriage where he placed the medical books, and in the past ten days he searched for medical books, and only found a few similar cases of plague, none of which were not deaths, and he must consult them carefully.

Lan Lao wrapped a few medical books and a change of clothes into a bag, tied them to himself, and jumped out of the carriage with light steps.

saw Gu Changhuan ordering the army to camp on the spot, and some soldiers dressed up as caravans.

Puzzled, he asked, "What is the prince doing?" ”

Gu Changhuan, who was already dressed as an attendant, put on the little hat in his hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "Naturally, I went to meet the Xinglin Holy Hand who cured the epidemic!" ”

"No, the situation in the city is unknown, how can you listen to only one person's words, in case the epidemic in the city is not eliminated, the prince is not in danger." Lan Lao hurriedly stopped.

"It's all here, if you don't see what kind of god Li Youde is, wouldn't you regret it for life."

Mr. Lan still wanted to stop him, but Gu Changhuan patted Mr. Lan on the shoulder with a fan and comforted, "Isn't there still Lan Lao by my side!" ”

Jian Dayan and the others had been camping outside Liushi City for four days, and before the epidemic, they went to the south of the border to find Jian Boyuan's whereabouts.

After more than two months of walking, they only found that Jian Boyuan's boat was on encountered strong winds and waves, and the boat was sunk, and they searched along the river, but found nothing but some remaining goods and the wreckage of the ship.

A few men were red eyes and ready to embark on the return journey, and they heard that there was an outbreak of the epidemic in the three cities near Liushi, and they thought that the master's lone seedling Jian Shuli was still in Qingyun Town, so they rushed back day and night.

Finally got close to Qingyun Town, but was trapped at the gate of the city due to the lockdown, Jian Dayan frowned, looking at the gate of the towering city wall closed, I can't really incarnate Dayan and fly back to see if Miss is okay.
