Chapter 62: Contradictions Emerge
The two chatted without a match, and waited in place for a quarter of an hour before Li Qingyuan sent away the two princesses, Changle and Chaolu.
Li Qingyuan came to meet Gu Rin in the night, and the two people in the carriage heard the sound and came down to greet the prince.
The three imperial doctors in the carriage behind Gu Rin's team also got out of the car one after another.
It was far away, and it was night, and the whole picture of the prince's convoy was naturally not clear, but now that he looked closer, Pei Yungui found that in Li Qingyuan's team, in addition to the escorted Long Wu/Wei, there were also more than a dozen carriages with a uniform style.
Although the team only showed the tip of the iceberg in the faint moonlight, just peeking into this corner was enough for Pei Yungui to imagine how mighty the convoy was this time.
A carriage for three people, a dozen wagons, at least thirty people.
Pei Yungui frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be surprised.
What kind of serious epidemic has broken out in You County, and it needs so many imperial doctors to be sent by the imperial court?
Could it be that the epidemic had spread extremely seriously long before the imperial court knew about it?
While thinking about it, several dismounted imperial physicians had already knelt down to salute Li Qingyuan, and Pei Yungui had to put his thoughts aside and kneel down with the imperial physician.
As for Gu Rin...... That's it.
Pei Yungui has been with him for so long, I have only seen him kneel to the emperor, and he has never knelt down with anyone.
Rao is facing the emperor, and he only has an equal attitude, and there is no submission in his words.
He seems to have a natural arrogance in his bones, like a swan, raising his neck and unwilling to bow to anyone.
Li Qingyuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "No courtesy." ”
Princess Changle and Princess Chaolu wasted too much time, and he was in a hurry,
After several people stood up together, Pei Yun Guijiao's figure was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, with a slender waist, and was supported by a group of five big and three thick men, like a wolf who strayed into the flock.
Pei Yungui was a little apprehensive, and he didn't know if Gu Rin had greeted Li Qingyuan before stuffing her in.
But according to his nature, there should be none.
If Li Qingyuan recognized her, how would she explain it?
Li Qingyuan rode high on horseback, his cold gaze caught Pei Yungui's particularly abrupt shadow in the crowd at a glance, he looked at the top of Pei Yungui's head, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "This girl is also an accompanying doctor?" ”
Pei Yungui's back tightened.
She was a girl at the scene, and Li Qingyuan's voice was referring to whom, and she didn't know who she was.
Although the people of Daqi are open and the status of women has been greatly improved, the deep-rooted male superiority and inferiority of women have been deeply imprinted in everyone's bones, even this enlightened dynasty.
There are female doctors, but there are a few, and it can be said that there are almost no people who follow the imperial court doctors to help the plague, not to mention that Pei Yungui does not know medical skills at all.
She was worried that Li Qingyuan would expel her from the ranks, after all, he had done the same thing in the first quarter of an hour.
Pei Yungui was beating a drum in his heart, and was considering the wording, when he heard a breezy and moon-like voice beside him, raised his eyes slightly, and saw Gu Rin calmly say: "This woman's surname is Pei Yungui, and it is the girl who sacrificed herself to save the saint a month ago." ”
The reason why he didn't mention the incident of rescuing Princess Chaolu from the ruffians in the night alley a few days later was because to protect the innocence of the princess, the emperor had already taken advantage of the news to block the news.
However, the incident of the racecourse is enough to help Li Qingyuan recall.
And with the relationship of "the emperor's life-saving benefactor", no matter how Li Qingyuan is, he has to give Pei Yungui a few thin faces.
After listening to Gu Rin's explanation, Li Qingyuan's gaze really softened a little, and he was no longer so aggressive, and then, he wrung his eyebrows and said, "I remember that Yungui girl doesn't know medical skills, why is she also on this list?" General Gu, did you put people in? ”
Gu Rin bowed slightly, and replied: "Since His Highness asked questions, the ministers did not hide it, and told the truth. ”
Somehow, hearing Gu Rin's melodious words "tell the truth", Pei Yungui's eyelids jumped, and he shuddered.
There's always a not-so-good premonition.
The night breeze crossed, carrying a few strands of green silk from Pei Yungui's neck, and the slightly cool wind spread on the back of his neck, which in vain shocked Pei Yungui with a chill, and even with the whole heart, he was also pre-haired.
Facts have proved that Pei Yungui's premonition has been verified again.
I saw Gu Rin bowing slightly, with some sincerity on his face, and his eyes softened into a pool of spring water, as if the tenderness in it was about to soften people.
"The minister's heart admires the clouds and returns to the old, and the clouds return to the ministers, and we have the feelings of the same grave as early as possible." Gu Rin glanced at Pei Yungui tenderly and sweetly through the night, and his eyes were firmly glued to her face, quite like a young man who fell in love, "It's just that Youxian is thousands of miles away, and the minister is gone, I don't know when he will be able to return, and the minister is reluctant, and Yungui goes out of the house to find another one, and the girl's family lives alone, and the minister can't rest assured, so I want to let her go with me on this trip." ”
Pei Yungui raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled into Gu Rin's deep eyes.
The pupils were slightly dilated, and there was anger inside, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so I had to lower my head in a panic to cover the look in my eyes.
This bow, in the eyes of outsiders, has evolved into the shame of the girl's family.
So the shock of the crowd turned into horror.
This sudden confession was like a thunderbolt, smashing on the heads of everyone present, with a mighty momentum, and it caught people off guard.
Outside the city gate, everything was silent, and under the cold moonlight, the procession that stretched for more than a mile was as silent as a terracotta army.
The three imperial doctors' jaws almost couldn't be stopped, and they fell to the ground with a thud, and they pulled their stiff mouths, trying to keep themselves calm, or pretending to be deaf and dumb, as if nothing had happened.
But even so, the look in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Gu Rin's reputation is not good in the capital, and it is even a little rotten and stinky.
He doesn't like to flatter the powerful, he hangs his waist and flatters, he is not very tactful in the court, he is straightforward and fast-talking, what is difficult to hear, and he provokes the anger of an official.
However, Gu Rin is a decisive murderer, and his methods of dealing with criminal cases are cruel, so in the bitter slander and ugliness of everyone, Gu Rin's face is covered with a layer of murderous crimes.
In the past, there was a saying in Kyoto that wherever Gu Rin passed, the grass on the side of the road would live for several years.
After all, who would like a general who is cunning, vicious, and even a little insane.
Although Gu Rin is brave and good at fighting and has a handsome appearance, he is really strange and evil with blood, so he has become the object of avoidance by women in Beijing.
And such a person who has been single for many years can one day win the love of a woman, which is not shocking.
Such a delicate person who is as delicate as a little white rabbit has entered a hell like Gu Fu that eats people and does not spit out bones, how can he be eaten alive immediately.
The gaze that fell on Pei Yungui was more or less pitiful.
Pei Yungui didn't know the deep sympathy of others for herself, she only felt a kind of shame that was impenetrable to her.
It's a shame......
She buried her head deeper.
If he could, Pei Yungui really wanted to die on the spot.
Li Qingyuan was expressionless, and his eyes were unwavering.
"You County is now rampant with epidemics, if you promise Miss Yungui, you will protect her well." With that, he pulled the reins and rode away first, followed by Li Qingyuan's team, and the atmosphere that had fallen silent suddenly became lively.
The trip to You County started, and the rest of the people did not have the reason to stand still, and the wind blew for a while, and only a few insignificant fallen leaves were rolled, and everyone picked up the shock in their hearts, and pretended to get into the carriage as if nothing happened.
Gu Rin and Pei Yungui were still in the same car, but now they got out of the car and only walked on the road, and the enthusiastic and inquiring eyes of the others almost wanted to penetrate the car wall.
In the eyes of outsiders, he had an inexplicable relationship with Gu Rin, and Pei Yungui couldn't be happy at all.
"The general is a good plan."
Pei Yungui spat out a rhetorical language, and Bai Shengsheng's face was obviously angry.
Gu Rin's body collapsed, and he returned to his idle sitting posture without bones.
"What, angry?"
Gu Rin asked knowingly.
Pei Yungui snorted coldly, "The general lied about our relationship in front of a group of people like this, and treated the names of you and me like child's play. But have you ever thought that we don't really love each other, what if we get married in the future? ”
Gu Rin took a sip of tea nonchalantly, with a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows, like a stranger in the crowd.
"What is the use of the name, whether it can be eaten or clothed, what do I want it to do, and cause trouble to myself?"
His sharp phoenix eyes rose slightly, the tails of his eyes outlined a line of awe-inspiring arcs, and the bottom of his eyes was full of arrogance, directly shooting Pei Yungui's angry face.
Pei Yun retracted his gaze, suppressed the anger in his chest, rolled up the curtains, and forced himself to look outside the window.
It should be that she did something wrong, etiquette and morality, she can talk to anyone, but she can't bring up the things that normal people follow the rules and preach to Gu Rin.
Gu Rin, a person whose sword is on the sidelines, she can't climb high.
The car fell into a long-lost loneliness for a while.
Gu Rin also tasted a little dull in the conversation between the two, so he picked up the scroll in annoyance and looked at it with his eyebrows.
Speechless all the way.
*
The carriage went out and traveled all the way on the official road, and after two days of concurrent journey, it had left the capital far behind.
Pei Yungui woke up in a daze, lifted the curtains again, and saw a completely different scenery from yesterday.
Every day at dawn, the carriage will find an open space all the way, stop slightly, and give the team time to repair, Pei Yungui took his toiletry, ran out of the car, and squatted on the side of the road with the imperial doctor who rushed to help, while cleaning his face and chatting.
The place to stay is also a suburb.
The white clouds here are combined, and the blue sky is woven into the woods, and then you can see the mountains of green mist when you look into the distance.
This place is more beautiful and ethereal than the suburbs of the capital, Pei Yungui's mood also jumped, so he asked the imperial doctor next to him: "Uncle Dong is the only place here, how far are we from You County?" ”
Dong Changji wiped his face and replied: "This should be the suburb of Huaitang City, which is more than 300 miles away from the capital, and it is far away from You County." ”
Pei Yungui nodded.
"Hurry back to the car, according to the prince, today should be another day of travel, and later find an inn in a nearby town to stay, and then if you can't catch up, I'm afraid you will have to take the waterway."
