Chapter 609: I Don't See You Forward
The morning light slowly opened, the eastern sky became more inky blue, and a touch of red gradually became bright and red, and a new day was ushered in on the grassland.
A trail of dew rolled down from the blades of grass and hid in the depths of the grass. The thunderous sound of horses' hooves passed through the grassland, startling away the little beasts and birds in the grass.
Wu Gan carried the broken knife and led his subordinates to constantly fight with the guards in these convoys, from the second half of the night to the present, under the continuous high-speed pursuit, both sides suffered many casualties.
Three of the five cars in the convoy had broken their axles and overturned on their floors. There were only some books and servants inside, and there was no shadow of Gu Yangsi.
Wu Gen cut down a cavalry of the ancient family, took off the sky-shaking bow hanging on the horse, aimed at the carriage in front, hesitated for a moment but did not shoot.
He wanted to take down the living Gu Yangsi, not a dead corpse. For this person, Wu Jian did not have any hatred in his heart. On the contrary, he admired this person's talent, and if he could keep it for his own use, it would be a great help for himself.
These soldiers of the Gu family who escorted the carriage swore to the death and refused to back down under the leadership of Gu Baicao, and for a while Wu Yan was unable to take down the opponent.
This ancient family of thousands of households who had met Wu Gen many times, no matter how Wu Gen persuaded him, he was just silent, but whenever anyone dared to approach the carriage, he pounced on him like a madman
The red sun in the east jumped, and the gorgeous morning glow spread out on the grassland, awakening the thousands of purples and thousands of reds. In the distance, the water carried a person from the moon, stepping on the glow.
His helmet had been lost, his long hair was flowing behind his head, and his armor was still torn in several places, and blood was oozing from it.
With a snort, water fell from the moon in front of the convoy, and Gu Kang's corpse was put down casually. In the face of thousands of ancient soldiers, with a halberd behind him with one hand, his white robe was stained with blood, his posture was straight, and the red glow fell on his body, like a god in the sky.
Obviously only one person, but as independent as a mountain, thousands of people are discouraged.
In the convoy, the carriage slowly stopped, and a slightly pale hand stretched out. Gu Yangsi held on to the body and slowly stepped out of the carriage.
Looking at Shui Congyue in the east, and then at the soldiers who were still fighting behind him, Gu Yangsi opened his mouth to exhale, but he coughed violently, and his body was shaky. A servant beside him hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm and handed over an elixir.
Gu Yangsi shook his head with a painful expression, "No need, such a precious elixir, let's leave it to others." Tell Gu Qianhu to lay down his arms."
The servant's expression froze, and then his complexion changed greatly, and he knelt down in front of Gu Yangsi with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes: "Young master, we still have a chance, we can't just give up."
"It's useless, after this defeat, the Gu family is afraid that it will die. These sons and daughters accompanied me all the way to fight, how could they accompany me, a useless scholar, to lose his life in vain. Go quickly." Gu Yangsi was panting, obviously very sick.
The servant had no choice but to hide his face and leave. Soon, the Gu family's resistance gradually subsided. Gu Baicao led people around the car, guarding Gu Yangsi, who was sitting under the car.
Wu Gan rode his horse to the front of the car, looked at the guards around him who were still unconvinced, turned over and dismounted and walked towards Gu Yangsi.
Gu Baicao stood up, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, and stared at Wu Yan with a cold look in his eyes. Although his own young master ordered that he should not resist, if Wu Jian dared to attack the young master, he would die, and he would have to cut a few cuts on that guy's body.
"White grass, get out of the way." Gu Yangsi's somewhat tired voice came, "If Wu Zhenfu wanted to kill me now, he would have rushed over to kill me."
Gu Baicao's expression darkened, and he turned sideways and moved out of the way. Now that the Northern Army has surrounded his own family and horses, and the suppression is dead, he is like a fish on the board, and life and death are in the hands of others.
Suddenly sadness began in my heart, why did the huge Gu family fall to such a point, it is foreseeable that the Gu family will be removed from the Iron Hand Province, or the idea of escaping from the Iron Hand, otherwise, how can Ji Xin, who is known as the violent tiger, spare the Gu family.
Wu Yan walked in front of Gu Yangsi and looked at this usually elegant and graceful young man. At this time, his face was gray, his eyes were deep, and his clothes that had always been clean were stained with some stains.
"Talk alone?" Wu Qian asked tentatively.
"Yes." Gu Yangsi nodded and rushed
Gu Baicao and the others commanded, and the latter reluctantly took the people away.
There were only two people left by the carriage. One leaned against the wheels, and the other sat cross-legged on the ground. The wind rose, and the grass rippled, taking away the rich smell of blood.
"Lu Lie ran away." Wu Gen said in a low voice.
Gu Yangsi's brows moved slightly, staring at Wu Yan silently, and let out a long sigh after a long while. The warm morning light fell on his body, warming his body and dissipating some of the fatigue of a night of travel.
"So what." Gu Yangsi curled up on one leg to make himself sit more comfortably.
"You can also leave a root for the Gu family and run far away." Wu Gan made a suggestion.
"The price."
"I'm going to go to Gu's house to rob people and money, and give it a convenience."
Gu Yangsi almost laughed angrily, "The robbers want to enter the house, and they also ask the master to open their mouths to greet them, how can there be such a reason in the world."
"You're smart." Wu Yan took out a piece of jerky and chewed it, then reached out and handed another one to Gu Yangsi.
Shaking his head slightly, Gu Yangsi gradually restrained his smile, "Protection fee, can you protect them?"
"It's impossible to protect everything, the Ji family doesn't allow it, I can take some people away." Wu Yan said vaguely.
Gu Yangsi sighed, looked into the distance, his expression was a little gloomy, and muttered to himself, "Is the Gu family dead like this, I'm really unwilling." After working hard and hibernating, he fought diligently, and in the end, he ended up like this."
"The destiny is not on your side, and the Ji family's luck is not endless." Wu Gen stuffed another piece of meat in his hand into his mouth, and ran around all night, really a little hungry.
"I have a younger brother who has a bit of a stubborn temperament, but he has the same character as you. And the people in the family, they can bring as much as they can." Gu Yangsi tilted his head and looked into the distance, as if talking to himself, and suddenly turned his head, "By the way, how can you protect them."
"I'm going to go south, find a place to go, and further south, I have a small stronghold big enough to accommodate so many people. To tell you the truth, not only the Gu family, but also the Qiu Lin family, the Cang family, etc., have to go all over again, with the addition of swords, they have no way out, and only I can provide them with protection." Wu Yan gently fiddled with the grass beside him and looked at each other with a smile.
"I believe in you." Gu Yangsi nodded, gently dusted off his body, and removed the residual leaves that the wind blew on his head, "Since the first time we met, I knew that you were ambitious, unscrupulous, and a person who could achieve great things, so I always wanted to pull you over. You say, if you and I had known each other earlier than Himeya, would you have helped me?"
"There aren't so many ifs in the world, so accept your fate." Wu Yan stretched out his hand to the other party, "Give a token, lest you enter the ancient family's city and fight all the way down, hurting people's lives in vain."
Gu Yangsi smiled bitterly, took out his folding fan and handed it to Wu Gan, "I won't give you the private seal, I will cause trouble with you, this thing is enough." In addition, I will let Baicao accompany you, and I believe that no one will stop you."
As he spoke, Gu Yangsi summoned Gu Baicao over and explained it in detail. The latter looked at Wu Gan with a somewhat complicated expression, but he finally responded.
After Gu Baicao left, Wu Yan asked in a low voice, "What about you?"
"I ......" Gu Yangsi's expression was a little confused, he suddenly coughed violently, trembled Suo Suo took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill the size of a mung bean and took it, "I have to die, I don't die, how can Ji Xin let go of the Gu family." Lu Lie is actually very unintelligent, if he doesn't die, the rest of the Lu family will have to die in his place, and Ji Xin will search the mountains and seas to arrest him.
Qiu Linhe looked rude, but he was actually very smart, thinking about exchanging peace for his clan with one death, at least he would not be killed, and if he became a slave or fled to another place, the Ji family would not care too much.
Cang also wanted to escape, but he didn't want to think about it, if we, the culprits, didn't die and become sinners in the clan. Just now, I have taken the poison, and I only hope that after I die, Brother Wu can bury me here, and I must not transport it back to the clan, so that the Ji family can dig a grave to vent their anger."
Wu Yan was a little speechless, he didn't expect this seemingly weak man to be so decisive. Get acquainted with him and accompany him through this last time. Fighting a war is a war, but to be honest, Gu Yangsi is worth befriending.
In the distance, the soldiers of the Northern Army and the horses of the Gu family looked at the two from a distance and chatted on their knees
, there is another taste in my heart.
A big battle has finally come to an end, and someone has to be responsible for it, maybe the fate of Gu Yangsi and the fate of the Gu family was decided between the words of these two people.
After the water was carried by the moon with one hand, the halberd was inserted into the ground, silently looking into the distance. The last time I fought with Gu Kang, I didn't know whether I won or lost, and I fought for a long time last night, and finally killed the other party. It's just that although he is an opponent, he also deserves respect, after all, he fought to the last moment.
Wu Geng's mind knows that these grievances and grievances, and the secret deeds, he has a noble heart, and he doesn't want to get involved in such dirty things.
Being born in the world and delaying in these fetters will only make the shackles on the body heavier and heavier, and make the Dao heart dusty.
Suddenly, Wu Yan stood up and looked down at Gu Yangsi who was leaning on the wheels.
The soldiers of the Gu family gathered around, only to see Gu Yangsi lying crooked beside the wheel, his eyes closed, his face calm, and a trace of black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Young master." Gu Baicao knelt down on one knee and couldn't cry anymore.
Thousands of Gu family soldiers also knelt on one knee, bowing their heads and weeping secretly. The wind was strong, whining and choking, blowing through this flowery grassland, making people's eyes a little confused.
A few petals fell on Gu Yangsi's face, but they fell immediately, falling into the black mud crushed by the ruts.
There are no travelers in the plains, and there is no king to move forward. Wu Yan bowed deeply to Gu Yangsi, and the soldiers of the Northern Army also saluted, "Properly buried, erect a monument, the past is gone, leave it for future generations to comment."
Soon, a large pit was dug in the ground. Due to the suddenness of the incident, the carriage had to be dismantled into a thin coffin and Gu Yangsi was put in.
On the grassy plain, there is a lonely grave. Wu Qian spilled a pot of wine in front of the tomb and led everyone to bow four.
"Let's go, let's go east, we won't go back to Luling." Wu Qian made up his mind and escorted these people from the ancient family, and the line lined up for a long time, winding towards the east.
