Northwest desert, the sun sets.

Gu Fenghua trekked to a sand dune and looked around. Suddenly, she heard the sound of shouting and fighting coming from a distance, and the slightest smell of blood was wrapped in the wind.

It was a battle between the two armies.

Gu Fenghua was startled and hurriedly rushed towards the battlefield.

As she climbed up to a nearby sand dune, she saw that the ground was littered with broken weapons, as well as the corpses of horses and soldiers.

Looking up at the camp fighting in front of her, she saw her father riding a war horse and fighting the enemy.

At this moment, a cold arrow "swished" from his father's back.

Gu Fenghua shouted at his father in a panic: "Daddy, get out of the way!" ”

However, her father did not hear her cries.

She could only watch as the cold arrow pierced her father's left shoulder blade, and then her father fell off his horse.

Gu Fenghua ran in the direction of the battlefield like crazy, but it seemed that no matter how she ran, she could only run in the sand dunes and could not rush to the battlefield......

Boom, boom.

Gu Fenghua was suddenly awakened by the thunder, and suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that he was not in the northwest battlefield, but sitting in a ruined temple.

She got up and patted her clothes, and said secretly: "It's this dream again, who is the person who put the cold arrow behind his back?" ”

What you see in a dream is a dream, and it is not a dream.

Seven years ago, Gu Fenghua's father who was guarding the northwest was killed in battle, and A-Niang was also martyred.

The general's death in battle was a glory, but the Gu family learned afterwards that there was something strange about this death - a cold arrow entered from General Gu's back, and behind it was our army's camp.

More than two years ago, Gu Fenghua eavesdropped on the conversation between his grandmother and his master before he knew the inside story.

It turned out that the situation of the Gu family was so difficult, and his presumptuous life was just his relatives moving forward with a burden.

At that moment, as if struck by lightning, her heart was beating like a drum, and then she fell to the ground in a fit of rage.

When she woke up, she complained, she was angry, she hated, and tears dried up.

It is said that people's growth is the accumulation of long years, but Gu Fenghua's growth was completed overnight.

The Gu family protected Da Yan, but was harmed by Da Yan people, what happened to this world?

Is this great flame still worth guarding my Gu family's life?

However, after all, she is the child of Jiangmen, even though she is the youngest daughter in the family, the elders do not deliberately instill too much family and country feelings, but the family style is in the same vein.

The country must be defended, revenge must also be avenged, the Gu family can die on the battlefield, but they must not die in the hands of the little people in vain.

So, she joined the Zhenxi Army incognito and secretly searched for the truth about her father's death.

It's been two years, and the nightmare is still there, and the answer is unknown.

Seeing that the thunder was loud and the rain was small, Fenghua didn't think about it, walked out of the broken temple quickly, turned over the horse, and galloped on the horse.

Originally, the journey back to Beijing was pinched, and she was able to meet her grandmother on the outskirts of the city, but at night there was a sudden rainstorm, and the lightning and thunder startled the horses to run wildly, forcing her to enter the deserted temple to shelter from the rain.

How did you sleep against the wall for half a night, and fall into a nightmare? It's really better to be a person than the sky, and I see that this day has missed the time passed to my grandmother before, and I have to run faster!

Fenghua muttered in his heart, a little anxious, and then raised his whip high and threw it on the horse.

The horse sped through the woods in an instant, and the horse's hooves flew in the mud, stepping on a deeper mud puddle, and the mud even splashed directly on her face.

After a while, the white face was covered with dirt from east to west, and I don't know if it was sweat, rain or mud.

And the man who was running against the wind didn't care about reaching out and wiping it at all, he only frowned tightly, held the reins with both hands, and said secretly in his heart: "You must not let people know that you are coming to fight the western army." ”

**

At this time, the showers in the capital are at the beginning of the break, the voices of people are boiling, and the carved cars are endless.

For the people of Kyochu, it was an extremely ordinary cloudy day. It's just that the rainstorm on the first night has made the streets a little muddy, causing people to complain.

Several somewhat embarrassed carriages drove into the capital. Because the carriage was not eye-catching, and there was no battle, no one thought that this was actually the team of the Gu family returning to Beijing.

"How long will it take for Fenghua to arrive in Beijing?" In the carriage, Old Lady Gu asked slightly tiredly.

"Old lady, according to the footsteps, it should have arrived half an hour ago, but yesterday's rainstorm is estimated to delay some effort." A young girl dressed as a young lady replied respectfully.

Old Taijun Gu frowned slightly, and said, "I hope everything goes well." ”

"Old lady, and be relieved."

The carriage drove directly to the gate of the Gu Mansion, and the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion waited at the gate with a group of people early in the morning: "Greetings to the old lady, greetings to the young lady." ”

The girl covered half of her face with a scarf, jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped the old lady to get out of the carriage and enter the house.

The Gu Mansion was rewarded by the first emperor more than 40 years ago, and the location is slightly off, unlike today's upstart mansions that are all in the prosperous places of the capital, so everyone entered the Gu Mansion and did not make any noise.

Or, in other words, most people in Beijing don't think it's a big deal. After all, the Gu family has declined.

Fifty years ago, when all the people were martial, General Gu and Lao Taijun fought for ten years when they were teenagers, led the Zhenxi Army to help the first emperor win the battle, and stabilized the foundation of the Great Yan Kingdom, which can be described as unparalleled.

It's just that no matter how beautiful it is, it's only ten or twenty years. As the so-called feng shui rotates, the current emperor emphasizes literature and suppresses martial arts, and gradually begins to gather military power after the overall situation is decided.

Seeing this, the second elder of the Gu family unloaded his armor, handed over the Zhenxi Army to his only son, and took his two grandchildren to Jiangnan to retire, far away from the capital, a place of right and wrong, and the scenery gradually went out.

The old and young ones were originally very comfortable in Jiangnan, but seven years ago, the young and powerful General Gu died in battle, and the affectionate Mrs. Gu was martyred. When the news came back to Jiangnan, General Gu, who was already wounded in battle, was so angry that he didn't take long to follow.

After that, His Majesty ordered the fifteen-year-old General Gu Xiao to take over his father's garrison in the northwest, and only Gu Taijun and his granddaughter Fenghua were left in the Gu Mansion in Jiangnan.

Now the Gu family has returned to Beijing because His Majesty pointed out the only granddaughter of the Gu family as the seventh princess.

The princess of Jiangmen was originally a taboo, but everyone in the court knew that the Gu family returned to Beijing with glory, but it was actually a hostage, and the seventh prince was born with a disease, and there was no mother, this is just a move by the emperor's family to gather military power.

After entering the house, the old lady entered the inner room and closed her eyes to recuperate.

In fact, the elegance has not returned, the old lady is calm on her face, but she is playing a small drum in her heart, and she always feels that something bad is going to happen.

Sure enough, more than an hour later, a "good news" came to the Gu Mansion: "Old Taijun, the palace people sent a message, and the marriage decree was sent to the Gu Mansion after half an hour." ”

The old lady suddenly opened her eyes and asked eagerly, "Does Fenghua have a letter?" ”

The young lady dressed as a young lady in the carriage changed back to the costume of a maid, and replied anxiously: "There has been no response from outside the city, and the young lady must have been delayed by the torrential rain." ”

The old lady pondered for a while, and ordered: "Take someone to the northwest for a ride, and be sure to pick up the young lady." ”

"Yes!"

"I'll take a little rest, after all, I'm old, and I guess the saint won't blame me." The old lady decided to rely on the old and sell the old to buy more time for Fenghua.

Half an hour later, the decree entered the house.

The old lady unhurriedly called for people to dress up and change clothes, and then hurried to the hall on crutches.
