Chapter 156: Cause and Effect
Gu Mingzhu never expected that that day would be the last time they would meet.
Three days later, Gu Xiurong took Yue Jingshu out of the border of the Ming Kingdom and entered the Li Kingdom.
At nightfall, the two stayed in an inn in a small town on the border of Li.
The two were silent all the way, and after dinner, Yue Jingshu opened the door after packing up her things, stared at the opposite door silently, and quickly turned around and went downstairs.
The evening breeze was gentle, and there were people gathering in the town at night, so she rented a carriage, paid the money, and took advantage of the night to go out of town.
After walking for a while, the road became more and more bumpy, Yue Jingshu felt that something was wrong, lifted the curtain, the scenery on both sides was fast, she said, "Why is the road so bumpy?" ”
The coachman replied, "Girl, it's not easy to walk at night. ”
Yue Jingshu withdrew her hand suspiciously, but her brows wrinkled slightly, she looked vigilant, touched the dagger in her sleeve, and the next moment the dagger slammed against the coachman's neck: "Who are you!" Who sent you! This is not the way to Gangneung! ”
The coachman looked panicked, and was stopped by the cold dagger: "Girl......"
Yue Jingshu's eyes were ruthless, and she ordered: "Stop!" ”
The coachman was forced to stop the carriage.
Yue Jingshu's hand was ruthless, the dagger pierced into the flesh and blood and there were traces of blood, the coachman was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, Yue Jingshu asked coldly: "Who sent you?" ”
The coachman stumbled and said, "...... Someone gave money...... Let me take you this way...... It's none of my business......"
Yue Jingshu hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and couldn't guess who it was for a while, so she kicked the person: "Now go back the same way immediately!" ”
The coachman hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!" The little ones do just that! ”
The coachman was frightened by the knife, and when he reached the entrance of the town, the fire was blazing in the distance, and everywhere he looked was a fire snake.
She couldn't help but let go, and the driver immediately got out of the car in fright and ran away in a hurry.
Yue Jingshu looked shocked, a bad thought came straight from the soles of her feet, she almost rushed forward, and the people had already been awakened, seeing that the fire could not be controlled, they did not dare to rush to put out the fire, they could only watch the flames burn.
In the backyard of the inn, seven or eight men were besieging Gu Xiurong, the slender blade was glowing with blood, and there were several corpses lying on the ground.
The two sides fought back together.
Yue Jingshu's face turned pale, she stumbled and rushed in without even looking, a charred beam behind her was collapsing and falling behind her, the movement was too big, and the two parties turned around, both of them were stunned.
Gu Xiurong shouted angrily: "Get out!" ”
Yue Jingshu's expression was unprecedentedly firm, but what was even more strange was that because of her arrival, this fight stopped abruptly.
Yue Jingshu's eyes were mixed with shock, stunned, and incredulous, and she had to believe it, she stared at the person in front of her, obviously recognizing him: "...... Did my dad ask you to come? Or did you come on your own? ”
The man seemed to be unbearable, but after a while, he replied softly: "Miss...... Sir, he's also for your good! ”
Yue Jingshu's eyes darkened, and she forced herself to accept the news almost instantly: "...... Let him go! I'll go back with you! ”
The man was embarrassed: "The angry one can't obey his fate, and the general instructed that he must take the head of the person who reviewed the Rong Xiang!" ”
Yue Jingshu sneered: "What conditions does he have?" ”
The man secretly said that it was indeed so.
The general is really like a god!
The man stubbornly brought the original words: "The general said that the son of the Song family in Jiangling has not yet married. ”
"I'll marry." Yue Jingshu's face was expressionless: "Can you release people?" ”
The man instantly got out of the way: "Gu Gongzi, please!" ”
Gu Xiurong wrung his eyebrows, but he didn't move, he stretched out his hand to the person beside him, and said coldly: "Come here!" ”
Yue Jingshu was stunned.
Gu Xiurong clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand and looked at her sideways: "What are you still doing in a daze?" ”
The man's expression was grim, and he moved the knife in his hand: "What does Gu Gongzi mean?" ”
Gu Xiurong sneered: "Why don't you say you're stupid!" Such a simple person can't understand it! ”
Yue Jingshu couldn't control it and stretched out her hand.
The man's face instantly chilled: "Look for death!" ”
"Just you?" Gu Xiurong held it, took the person behind him, and swept his gaze over the group: "You? Brag unblushingly! ”
——
Gu Mingzhu's heart hurt for no reason, and the soup in his hand almost spilled.
Seeing her painful expression, Chun'er hurriedly came to help her, and said with concern: "Miss? ”
Gu Mingzhu stroked her chest with her hand, Chun'er made a cup of tea, she reluctantly poured some, her heart palpitations eased slightly, and Xu Ping'an, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly cried in shock.
Gu Mingzhu hurriedly walked to the bed, picked up the little man and coaxed patiently, she whispered to reassure, but a strong uneasiness rose in her heart.
At nightfall.
There was a knock on the door of the temple, and an anxious voice came from outside: "Master, the border is urgent!" ”
Xu Jue was woken up, and the person in his arms shrank his head and opened his eyes.
Xu Jue patted the person, got up and put on his robe, opened the door, and followed by a messenger soldier in September, half-kneeling on the ground: "Border pass emergency, after nightfall yesterday, Li Guo attacked Shuzhou, Shuzhou was lost, and the people retreated to Changde County!" ”
Gu Mingzhu was sleepy, sat up, Xu Jue had already returned, and when she saw that she wanted to get up, she said, "It's still early, you can fall asleep." ”
Gu Mingzhu had no choice but to nod.
At the end of June, the peace pact between the two countries was torn apart, and fighting raged again at the border gates.
When I received the news, it was the fourth day, and Xu Jue had just had dinner with Gu Mingzhu and was enjoying the cool in the courtyard.
Gu Mingzhu was rarely interested, and ordered Chun'er to take the piano to play a song, and when she was tuning the strings, Xu Jue was holding her head with her hands and looking at her.
Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly, ignored it, tried the piano sound, exhaled, plucked his fingertips, and a string of tactful piano sounds poured out......
Under the corridor, early autumn stumbled and walked quickly, his face was extremely ugly, and when he came to him, he couldn't help but call: "...... Miss. ”
Gu Mingzhu's ten fingers didn't stop, and the sound of the piano suddenly turned and rushed straight up, and the majestic momentum came to his face.
Chu Qiu had a white face: "...... Get the message...... Son...... Childe is gone! ”
The sound of the piano made a hideous sound, the strings snapped and broke abruptly, a wisp of red blood dripped on it, Gu Mingzhu raised his head: "What did you say?" ”
In early autumn, he replied with difficulty: "In the woods of Pingguan Town...... I found the ...... of Childe and Girl-in-law"
Gu Mingzhu's face turned pale, and he stood up and didn't knock over the guqin, Xu Jue looked cold: "Are you sure?" ”
Chu Qiu said: "The corpse ...... Already on the way back. ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't listen to the words anymore, she was in a hurry to go out, she didn't know what she was going to do in the early autumn, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so she shouted: "Miss!" ”
Gu Mingzhu took two steps and paused, she turned her head to look at Xu Jue, Xu Jue walked up to her in a few steps, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
In the evening, Gu Mingzhu couldn't wait to go out of the city and greeted people on the official road.
Xu Jue lifted the curtain, after a few days of transportation, it was summer again, and the corpse already had a smell that was difficult to hide.
Xu Jue's face was ugly, and he turned his head in the hazy night and looked at the person behind him.
"Found this on a corpse in the woods." The man from the Red Leaf Building handed over a token.
Gu Mingzhu's pupils shrank.
It's a mediocre token, but Gu Mingzhu has seen it before!
Xu Jue took the token, and there was a Yue character engraved on the back, he was silent, and confirmed after a while: "It's a confidant of the Yue family." ”
Gu Mingzhu stared at the token, and when he raised his head, his eyes were scarlet: "Why did he do this!" This is his daughter too! How could he do it! Didn't he use to be the most satisfied with his brother! Why the hell! Why! ”
Xu Jue hugged her who was crazy: "Mingzhu...... Pearl ......"
Gu Mingzhu's whole body rushed outward, and the whole person became manic, struggling desperately: "I'm going to kill him!" I'm going to kill him! I will definitely ......."
Xu Jue stabbed the person with a knife behind his back and knocked the person unconscious.
——
Gu Mingzhu hadn't had a nightmare for a long time.
This time, she couldn't tell whether the reality was or her previous life, and when she heard the news of her brother's death, she had a high fever.
She asked herself over and over again: Is it wrong to get to this point?
In her previous life, her brother died in battle because of her bonding.
Now my brother is also in a different place because of her.
If he hadn't rebelled at the beginning, there wouldn't have been so many insurmountable gullies between him and Yue Jingshu!
Is it wrong?
Is everything wrong?
Suddenly, the blood qi surged, and the irrepressible fishy qi surged up strongly, and Gu Mingzhu spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
