Volume 1 Chapter 34 Gu Jiaqing returns to Beijing
Wei Yu felt a burst of pain in her waist, and the arrow passed through her waist, and blood soaked the hem of her clothes.
The slope of the cliff was smaller than expected, and she only descended a short section of the rocky cliff, and she kept getting closer to the grassy ground.
The scene was changing rapidly, and her hands were waving in midair, trying to grasp the bushes on the edge of the cliff to slow the downward trend, but in vain.
The arrow missed, and only a small piece of flesh fell down her waist, but it was deadly enough at this time, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't use her strength, and the dead leaves were dragged in her hands, and she could only regretfully slash them in the palm of her hand.
Traces of blood meander along the edge of the cliff along the path of her fall, and below the cliff is a rocky beach, and if she falls, she will surely die, and she keeps reaching out to try to save herself, while constantly praying for a miracle.
Suddenly, she felt a more intense pain in her waist, one hand held her waist, held her bloody wound, and fiercely imprisoned her in place, the familiar body temperature penetrated the texture along the thin spring shirt, and the aroma of bitter tea came to her face.
Wei Yu was startled, and his hairs stood on end.
Don't?
No way!! She hastened to dismiss her terrible speculation.
That person should be in the northwest now, in Yongzhou!!
The force slowed her down the steep slope, and her muscles stiffened, and she didn't dare to move for a long time.
The man was not in a hurry, so he stood in place with her slender waist in his arms, his slender knuckles tapping on her belt embedded with white jade mica, causing a soft sound.
Wei Yu took a deep breath and slowly turned his head.
A familiar face carved into her bones appeared before her.
The tall man's phoenix eyes drooped slightly, as black as if the pupils of a deep pool were calm and cold, as if he was looking at a vessel that was not worth much surprise, or looking at a scenery that had been seen ten thousand times, revealing an indifference to regard all things as dogs, like a noble and ruthless god above the nine heavens.
Wei Yu's pupils constricted, and he felt a sense of suffocation and panic that was close to death.
Gu Jiaqing.
Sure enough, it was him.
Gu Jiaqing lowered her eyes and looked at her, her pupils reflected her frightened and embarrassed face, a strangeness without any fluctuations.
It doesn't seem to care if it's a person, a cat, or a dog saved in the palm of your hand.
He slowly loosened her waist, frowned at the blood stained on his fingertips, and his eyes wandered around, and finally took out a Supa pinned by Wei Yu on the placket and wiped it carefully.
"General! According to the general, except for a few living mouths who were specially left behind, the rest of the assassins have been ambushed! "Above the stone cliff, several Xuanyi guards poked their heads out, and the sound was like a bell, startling a tree of birds.
At the same time, there was a dawn cry from the cliff: "Is Your Highness okay?" ”
Wei Yu found out that she had slid more than a hundred steps away, if it weren't for Gu Jiaqing, I was afraid that she would die here today.
Her gaze subconsciously fell to the person standing beside her, his gaze lowered, still focused on the blood between his fingers.
……
Among Wei Yu's ten thousand plans and assumptions, there has never been one, including Gu Jiaqing, who is also reincarnated.
That is Gu Jiaqing, who led the Yongjun army to break through the imperial city from the northwest in March, Gu Jiaqing, who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands into rain in the Yuan Emperor's court, and played the entire court between the palms, and Gu Jiaqing who destroyed the emperors of the two dynasties and the regent Dayin for nearly ten years!
Wei Yu couldn't imagine that if he was also reincarnated and predicted everything that would happen in the next ten years in advance, how would she, Emperor Cheng, the Queen Mother, the courtiers and even the entire Great Yin fight with him, and how would they fight with the 400,000 Yongjun behind him?
Can Wei's centuries-old foundation be preserved? Can Da Yin still be surnamed Wei?
How much does he know? He couldn't have known everything, or he wouldn't have been unrecognizable.
Wei Yu was immersed in thoughts, his expression was frightened, and his face turned pale.
I don't know why, but my face is still filled with a smile for the rest of my life, "Your Majesty held a banquet in the Qianyuan Palace to entertain General Gu, and sent someone to send two dishes that His Highness likes to eat, Your Highness wants to taste them?" ”
Wei Yu is still in bed now, she has just been sent back to the palace by Gu Jiaqing, although the arrow wound on her waist is not fatal, but it is not trivial, it will not be better if she does not raise her in bed for ten days and half a month.
She shook her head and said reluctantly, "If you don't eat it, you have no appetite." ”
This time, Gu Jiaqing returned to Beijing to report to Emperor Cheng about the abnormalities of the northwest races, not only Wei Yu noticed the unusualness of these foreign races, but he suddenly encountered a heavy snowstorm in the northwest in the winter that was rare in ten years.
The loss of grain and grass of different races is very serious, countless cattle and sheep have frozen to death, and there is a great famine in the spring.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, they simply gritted their teeth and decided to join forces and wave their troops south, and really fight to the death with Da Yin.
Sixteen tribes outside the northwest to keep Hu, Di, Qiang and so on, often kill each other in order to compete for resources such as cattle and sheep pasture, and usually one or two tribes are not good for the Great Yin, but if it is an alliance of sixteen tribes, it is not trivial.
As soon as Gu Zheng grasped these news, he immediately sent Gu Jiaqing to return to Beijing in a hurry of 800 miles to report to Emperor Cheng.
As for saving Wei Yu, it was because he was suddenly alarmed by the forest next to the road when he was passing through the suburbs.
At that time, Ren Xuan and Qiu Ling and those assassins went all the way to the official road, and were about to go to the government office for help, but they were dragged by the assassins, and the two fought with the assassins, which alarmed the people on the side of the road, and reported to Gu Jiaqing and his party, who had just stopped to change horses.
Of course, this is just Gu Jiaqing's statement, as for how much of it is true and how much is false, only he knows.
This excuse is unassailable in the eyes of others, but it is not so in the eyes of Wei Yu.
In her previous life, the northwest also suffered a heavy snowstorm, and the alien races also allied to the south, but she remembered it clearly, but the Zhenbei General's Mansion did not receive the information in advance at all, and reported it to the imperial court.
On the contrary, when the sixteenth army sent troops, he couldn't deal with it, and he fell into the enemy's tricks several times, and lost 50,000 soldiers and horses in just half a month after the war, and the airport war also made Gu Zheng, the northwest god of war, full of arrogant controversy, and he himself was seriously injured because of this, and he could not go to the battlefield in person for nearly two months.
It is for this reason that the court needs to re-select the marshal of the Western Expedition, giving King Huai and the Jiang family the opportunity to exploit the loopholes.
And at this time in the previous life, Gu Jiaqing was still unknown, and there was no such person in the capital, unlike in this life, he had already been awarded the fourth rank of General Mingwei for his strength in resisting the disturbance.
You must know that he has been on the battlefield for less than a year, and this speed is really terrifying.
This kind of abnormality made Wei Yu have to doubt the fact that he was also reincarnated.
But he didn't seem to be familiar with her yet, and the look in her eyes was completely different from the seven years in the later generations, with his temperament, if he really knew their relationship, he would never pretend to be in front of Wei Yu.
There are only two explanations for making such a gesture, one is that he has a conspiracy on the side, and he must pretend to be like this to hide Wei Yu's eyes, and the other is that he may not be reborn, but through the method on the side, he knows the trajectory of the development of events in his previous life.
After all, although this matter is strange and confusing, isn't there a Yuankong monk in Beijing alone who knows about her?
In the vast sea of people, do you know if there are other capable people?
Wei Yu's style of acting in this life is not disguised at all, if Gu Jiaqing is really reincarnated, as long as he investigates a little in Beijing, with his brain, he may not need to guess at all to know her details.
Wei Yu's heart was aroused with deep jealousy and worry.
What you don't know is often the most terrifying, Gu Jiaqing, how much does he know? What do you want to do?!
She was anxious and uneasy, and she couldn't wait to call Gu Jiaqing immediately and open his mind to see what he was thinking.
At this moment, a small palace man suddenly came outside, saying that Gonggong Li, who was next to the emperor, asked to see him.
Wei Yu's heart jumped, what is it, Li Dehai must be dispatched to her?
Her voice trembled even though she couldn't even notice it, and said, "Let him in."
The palace people retreated according to their words, and soon brought Li Dehai, who bowed slightly, his expression was serious and heavy, and he was holding a red lacquered plum blossom square box sprinkled with gold powder in his hand.
Wei Yu excused him, frowned and asked, "Gonggong Li, but what is the important matter of my father?" ”
Li Dehai nodded and said, "Yes!" Your Highness is clever. His Majesty felt sorry for His Royal Highness, and ordered the old slave to bring some tonic medicinal materials, and asked His Highness to take care of his injuries, and His Majesty also said that the matter of the assassin would definitely be explained to His Highness, please let His Highness be restless. ”
Wei Yu nodded, her assassination was really too strange.
First of all, although she didn't deliberately cover up her leaving the palace this time, she didn't make a big deal about it, how many people could know in advance that she was going to leave the palace that day, and how many people would place people on the outskirts of the city in advance?
Secondly, it was a whim for her to go to the White Horse Temple to find Yuan Kong, how did the people behind the scenes know that she had to go to the White Horse Temple that day? Or has she already decided that no matter what she chooses, she will end up on the outskirts of the city?
Again, who exactly is going to do it to her? Recently, she has only made enemies in the court, and the Jiang family even sent someone to poison her and wanted to kill her, but Jiang Song provoked Emperor Cheng to anger because of what he did to her, and he would really attack her again at this time?
If so, what is the point of his self-resignation? It simply doesn't make sense.
The people behind the scenes dispatched such a large number of people, it must not be a temporary killing machine, who did she have a grudge with, but she didn't know?
This matter is full of suspicions and needs to be investigated carefully, and it is not possible to be in a hurry.
Wei Yu nodded and said that he already knew, and saw that Li Dehai was still holding the box in his hand and did not retreat.
Then he asked, "Gonggong Li, do you still have something to say?" ”
Li Dehai nodded and smiled: "Yes, this thing ......" He handed the lacquer box in his hand to Dawn, "It was brought to the princess by General Gu to the old slave." ”
Hearing Gu Jiaqing's three words, Wei Yu's face began to look not very good.
Li Dehai didn't notice it at all, and said with a smile: "General Gu said that he borrowed a handkerchief from His Royal Highness, and asked the old slave to return it on his behalf." ”
Wei Yu took the box handed over by Dawn, and his hand began to tremble for some reason.
She lifted the top lid of the lacquer box, and when she saw the contents of it, she was furious, and threw it out with a "pop".
Inside the box was a dark blue cloud satin brocade handkerchief, which was different from Wei Yu's square plain and embroidered with extremely delicate patterns.
It was a kingfisher in a golden birdcage.
