Chapter 5 Gu Yunyue is dead
Gu Yunlie knew that this minister was a member of the Shen family, the mother family of the three princes, and the Shen family and the Gu family had always been at odds.
This time, the emperor sent him to think that something was wrong, but now Gu Yunlie is more concerned about how to go out of the customs to save people under the nose of the minister.
Helplessly, as if he knew his thoughts, Yichen stared at Gu Yunlie for a moment and did not relax.
After waiting for several days, Gu Yunlie found an opportunity to discuss with his brothers alone.
Qingyi hated Yichen so much that his teeth itched, if he hadn't brought Zhang Shengzhi, they wouldn't have had to stay in the pass, looking at the Xiling military camp with a sigh of urgency, but there was nothing to do.
Qingyi and Qi Yu have been holding back a fire for the past two days, and they feel that it is all their responsibility for Gu Yunyue to be arrested by Mu Beimo. Especially Qi Yu, he thought that if he doubted Ji Zhuo's words that day and went to the Xiling military camp, Gu Yunyue would not be captured.
"Dashuai, the postman sees you carefully, why don't you stay in the pass and coax the postman, and I will take a few brothers with good skills to save the crescent moon." Qingyi shouted at Gu Yunlie.
Gu Yunlie is not like Qi Yu and the others, he only feels guilty and angry, but he doesn't think about problems.
He carefully calculated everything since the expedition, and figured out that it was Mu Beimo who had set a trap for the Lieyue Army. From Ji Zhuo's request for help from the imperial court to Gu Yunyue's negotiations, it was all arranged by Mu Beimo.
He was worried about his sister's safety, but he didn't want Qi Yu and them to fall into danger again.
Qi Yu saw that Gu Yunlie was silent, knowing that he didn't want more people to take risks, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "Dashuai, don't hesitate. We also know in our hearts that we will not take our brothers to death, we will only do what we can. Besides, don't you believe that I still don't believe in the crescent moon, but if we make some movement, she will naturally be able to escape with her ability. ”
This is indeed reasonable, Gu Yunlie's heart was a little moved: "I will only give you two hours and twenty people, remember, if you find that something is wrong, withdraw immediately, don't fall in love!" ”
Qi Yu received the order and immediately ordered his troops to set off.
The defense of the Xiling military camp was not as strict as Qi Yu thought, and most of the patrolling sentries were sleepy, dozing in the corners in twos and threes.
Qi Yu didn't dare to relax at all, the experience of fighting many times made him know that Mu Beimo was a scheming person, and he was worried that this was a manpower deliberately arranged by Mu Beimo.
Not long after lurking, Qi Yu saw a leader-like person giving an order to a military doctor carrying a medical box: "Your Highness has an order, Gu Yunyue is still useful if she is alive, you go and give her some medicine, just don't die." ”
Qi Yu was a spirit in his heart, but he also knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he led someone to quietly follow the military doctor to a small tent.
Qi Yu didn't rush in, first saw clearly where the guards around the small tent were distributed, and then gestured to everyone behind him, twenty people scattered into a circle, and one person looked at two or three Xiling soldiers. Waiting for Qi Yu to take the lead, he eliminated all the surrounding enemies in just a moment, and he didn't make a sound.
Qi Yu estimated that this time was enough for the military doctor to take good medicine, so he asked the others to stay outside the tent and brought four people in.
The five men slipped in quietly, and the military doctor in the tent did not notice that the five people had entered.
Qi Yu slashed at the military doctor's neck with a knife from behind, knocking him unconscious.
There was a person lying on the couch in the tent, and there was no doubt that her figure was Gu Yunyue, but when Qi Yu leaned over, he saw that she was covered in injuries, and even her face was slashed a few times.
The monstrous anger burned Qi Yu's eyes, he picked up the unconscious Gu Yunyue, turned around and gritted his teeth and gave an order to the people behind him: "If the master doesn't kill these beasts today to avenge the crescent moon, he won't be surnamed Qi!" ”
Gu Yunyue has a high reputation in the Lieyue Army, and at this moment, when these people see her current appearance, they are all bloody, and they just want to kill a few Xiling people to vent their anger.
It was indeed as Qi Yu thought, Mu Beimo had indeed taken precautions, and at this moment, a large number of Xiling troops surrounded them.
The people chosen by Qi Yu were all the most elite in the Burning Moon Army, and although there was a huge disparity in numbers, they did not have the slightest fear, but were full of anger and eager to vent.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the encirclement of the Xiling Army was torn open by Qi Yu and them. Although Qi Yu was angry, he knew in his heart that now was not the time to fight fiercely, and it was the most important thing to take Gu Yunyue back quickly.
He ran towards Taiding Pass with the twenty people, these people were all elite soldiers and fast horses, and although the Xiling people chased after them in a hurry, they could only watch them take people away.
In order to cover for Qi Yu and them, Gu Yunlie kept pulling Yichen to talk in the middle of the night. The face was calm and light, but the heart was already very anxious.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Gu Yunlie's guards came in and reported: "Dashuai, it's late at night, please rest early, in case Xiling sends people to attack the city tomorrow." ”
Gu Yunlie saw that he was one of the twenty people who went to the Xiling military camp, and knew that Qi Yu had already brought people back, so he pretended to suddenly realize: "I had a good conversation with the adults, but I didn't realize that it was late at night, and I disturbed the adults' rest." ”
Yichen replied with a smile: "It's a blessing for the villain to be able to talk to Gu Shuai, but it's not early, let's talk about it another day." ”
Gu Yunlie said goodbye to the minister, rushed to his yard with a wind under his feet, and asked on the way, "How?" ”
The guard whispered, "Crescent Moon has been saved, but it is only injured." ”
Almost all the military doctors of the Lieyue Army gathered in Gu Yunlie's room, and when the commander came in, everyone moved away.
Gu Yunlie only glanced at it, and the green tendons on his forehead rose like a green snake.
"Why are you pretending to be Xiao Jiu'er? Where's my sister?! ”
Everyone was stunned, only the person on the bed laughed coquettishly: "What, isn't it like a slave?" How can Gu Shuai see it at a glance? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Qi Yu let out a sigh of relief, this person deliberately scratched his face in order to pretend to be Yun Yue. Then I was worried about where Gu Yunyue was and what her situation was.
Gu Yunlie approached the woman on the bed and asked in a cold voice, "Where is my sister?" ”
The woman did not hide it: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already killed that slut." You Gu Yunlie even have the ability to reach the sky, and you won't be able to see her. ”
Everyone was shocked, but Gu Yunlie was still calm: "Lies should also be like this, if Xiao Jiu'er is dead, Mu Beimo can let me see the corpse, why find someone to pretend to be her." ”
The woman smiled brightly: "That's naturally to leave a piece of evidence, so that the poster will know that you Gu Yunlie is bold enough to disobey the holy decree and go out to save people." ”
Gu Yunlie asked in a deep voice, "Why does Mu Beimo know that there is such a holy decree?" It was Ji Zhuo who told him. ”
The woman's face was panicked, and she hurriedly changed the subject, ripped off a jade pendant from her neck, and threw it to Gu Yunlie: "Well, this is because His Highness is afraid that you will be suspicious, so I asked me to use it to prove my identity." Since you've recognized that I'm not your sister, it's useless for me to keep it, so I might as well give you a thought. ”
Gu Yunlie stretched out his hand to catch it, and at a glance, he recognized that this was a piece of black jade that he had specially found when Gu Yunyue was seven years old. He carved a talisman and gave it to his sister after carving it with his own hands, Gu Yunyue never left his body, and always carried it close to his heart.
After recognizing this piece of jade, Gu Yunlie knew that what the woman said was probably true, and unconsciously clenched his hands, and heard a crisp cracking sound.
The talisman jade shattered, this is a very clear omen.
The corners of Gu Yunlie's mouth trembled, his Adam's apple moved up and down a few times, and he said, "Order the soldiers, all the Lieyue Army will follow me out of the customs." ”
"I see who dares!" , with a loud shout, stopped Qi Yu, who was walking out of his legs.
Yichen came in with Ji Zhuo and the bearded Vice General Li: "Gu Yunlie, you are so bold, do you want to disobey the holy decree?!" ”
Gu Yunlie ignored Yichen and pointed at Ji Zhuo: "Take him." ”
Two lieutenants went up and cut Ji Zhuo's arms neatly.
Yichen blushed: "Gu Yunlie, you are presumptuous!" ”
Gu Yunlie continued to order: "Leave ten people to watch this woman and Ji Zhuo. Qi Yu went to order soldiers, and after a stick of incense, we went out. ”
Qi Yu responded simply, didn't look at the poster, and went straight out.
After Qi Yu went out, Gu Yunlie gave up a little attention to Yichen: "I have evidence that Ji Zhuo, the master of Taiding Pass, was bought by Xiling, and Taiding Pass is in danger, if you know each other, keep your mouth shut." If the Holy One is responsible, I will bear it with all my might. ”
After that, without waiting for the post minister's reaction, Gu Yunlie turned to Vice General Li again: "After the Lieyue Army leaves the customs, you will be the temporary chief general and responsible for guarding the customs." ”
The deputy general was very happy, and patted his chest again and again to ensure that he would definitely be optimistic about Ji Zhuo and guard Taiding.
Gu Yunlie didn't listen to his loyalty and strode out of the room.
After a stick of incense, the door of Taiding Pass was wide open, and the tide of horses roared by.
The Lieyue Army was the only all-cavalry army in Nanwan, and at this time, the whole army came out together, and the momentum was extraordinary, and the earth trembled under the iron cavalry.
Xiling's Tanma naturally hurriedly went back to tell Mu Beimo, and Mu Beimo immediately ordered to prepare for war.
But the Burning Moon Army came too fast.
At this time, it was still late at night, and most of the soldiers of the Xiling Army were still asleep in their tents, and they had just woken up in a daze and dressed before their heads were cut off by the Lieyue Army.
Seeing that he was invincible, Mu Beimo immediately abandoned the camp and fled.
Gu Yunlie originally wanted to kill Mu Beimo to take revenge, but unfortunately there were too many guards around Mu Beimo, and the remaining soldiers of Xiling swore to protect the prince to the death.
After chasing for fifty miles, Gu Yunlie had no choice but to order to stop the pursuit. But at this time, there were less than 4,000 people left in the Xiling army.
Gu Yunlie's army turned back to Xiling and abandoned the camp, and after careful inspection, he collected a lot of grain, grass, military supplies and other booty, and the battle was a great victory.
After Gu Yunlie returned to Taidingguan, he wrote an urgent document, which recorded in detail the various matters since the Lieyue Army set out, and attached the transcript of the Xiling woman and Ji Zhuo's own confession, which clearly and undoubtedly confirmed that Ji Zhuo had a long-term relationship with Xiling and was not loyal to Nanwan. He also recorded in detail the process of defeating Xiling and the booty obtained, and at the same time did not make any excuse for his resistance to the order and sending troops. At the end of the document, it is written that Gu Yunyue died for the country and begged His Majesty to give him a title as a sign of honor.
When Gu Yunyue was dead, Gu Yunlie abandoned his pen three times and cried at the desk.
Since the day the Lieyue Army returned to the customs, all Dai Bai, Qi Yu, Qingyi and other deputy generals who watched Gu Yunyue grow up have been watching Gu Yunyue grow up every day, guarding Yunyue's spirit.
Gu Yunlie's documents, together with the documents accusing Gu Yunlie of disobedience and disobedience to the holy decree, were sent back to Lidu in an expedited manner for 800 miles and presented to Emperor Jianzhao's desk.
