Chapter 253: Temptation
Mei Berry They went to the imperial capital, and when Gu Pingyu knew about it, Mei Berry and they had already set off.
No one expected that the Queen Mother would suddenly recruit plum berries into Beijing.
And they didn't expect that the driving force was actually the county magistrate of Yueliao County, Yang Tingye.
"That Yang Tingye kept saying that he was just praising the meritorious people, but he didn't mention so many soldiers who stuck to Yueliao for him, but he only mentioned Mei You and them, who had bad intentions."
After Gu Pingyu and the others received the news from the letter official yesterday, he inquired about Mei You's reward, and learned that the Queen Mother had told him to rush to Yueliao County this morning.
Who knew that Mei You had already left, but before leaving, Mei You left a letter to him.
"Mei You, let's beware of Yang Tingye."
Gu Pingyu said to Gu Yan and Wang Beigu about the contents of Mei Youxin, and as he spoke, his face suddenly turned a little ugly: "At the beginning, Dongfang Tai said that he wanted someone to support us, but those soldiers got lost and rushed to Yueliao......
I originally thought that he was doing this on purpose to delay time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid he doesn't want to help Yueliao.
Could this Yang Tingye have secretly taken refuge in Dongfang Tai a long time ago? โ
"Yang Tingye was born in a poor family, his ancestral home is Xuanzhou Pingci, and Jingping has been a scholar for six years. Later, he was appointed as the commander of Yandi County, and was transferred to Yueliao three years ago.
His wife, Huang, the only daughter of a wealthy merchant in Xuanzhou Pingci, has two sons and a daughter with Yang Tingye, and has been taking care of housework in Xuanzhou.
Although he was separated from his wife, Yang Tingye did not have a maid to accompany him. โ
Wang Beigu casually said Yang Tingye's relevant information, and Gu Pingyu was very surprised.
"Brother Wang, how do you know so clearly?"
"Jiubaoxuan's shop is in Yueliao, so why don't you know the preferences of the local county officials?"
"But you know ......"
Gu Pingyu didn't stay still, where is this like understanding preferences?
On the surface, this one really doesn't seem to have any problems, but Mei Erniang said so, thinking that she has already discovered something wrong. Perhaps, your guess is right, the other party doesn't know when he took refuge in King Wei. โ
After Gu Pingyu got Wang Beigu's approval, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and then Gu Pingyu talked to him about some of the later arrangements.
Seeing that Gu Pingyu's recent actions and ways of thinking were gradually maturing, Wang Beigu's gaze met that of Gu Yan, who was looking at the two of them.
As the night deepened, Gu Pingyu was told by Gu Yan to go down to rest, and he and Wang Beigu also left later.
After Gu Pingyu left the study, Wang Beigu and Gu Yan in the room looked at each other without saying a word and sat quietly.
It wasn't until the candle flame core burst out with a cold explosion that Gu Yan spoke: "I thought you appeared this time to tell Brother Tuan the truth of the matter." โ
He spoke, but saw that Wang Beigu was still sitting quietly at the farthest point from him, and he didn't mean to speak.
"I really thought I was going to die, and I thought, I haven't had time to tell him you're not dead......"
"It's all gone." Hearing Gu Yan's words, Wang Beigu suddenly opened his mouth and sighed, "Besides, even if you tell him that his eldest brother Gu Beiwang is not dead, then what?" โ
"And then ......"
Gu Hou looked slightly stunned.
Gu Beiwang looked at Gu Hou's expression and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Father, you have been too protective of Brother Tuan over the years.
It made him a little ignorant of the world. Something like this tells him that you have to think about where to start with the rest of the story. โ
"I'm just ......"
Gu Yan snorted, the father and son knew each other too well, Gu Bei saw him like this, closed his eyes and sighed and said, "Father, do you really want Brother Tuan to be like when I was young?"
Innocent and hot-blooded like me,
Be as sincere as I am, unreserved,
Does he have to end up in a trap like me, and only understand it with countless deaths and injuries? โ
"I didn't!"
As if remembering something sad, Gu Yan's eyes instantly turned red, and then a violent cough came from his throat from his body that had not yet recovered.
Seeing this, Gu Beiwang hurriedly got up again, walked quickly in front of Gu Yan with a cane, and was tightly grabbed by the other party on the empty sleeve of the front half of his left arm.
Gu Yan wanted to grab Gu Beiwang's arm, but when he grabbed the empty sleeve, his pupils suddenly widened, and a look of painful guilt appeared on his face.
With it, the hand holding the sleeve of the shirt was a little harder, and he couldn't help but say, "I didn't cough cough cough!" Fatherhood never thought of it that way.
Whether it's you or Brother Tuan, my father doesn't want you to get hurt!
It's just that Brother Tuan's eyes are very much like your mother, and when he is sad, I always feel that your mother is also sad somewhere...... He laughs, and when he's happy, I think your mother must be happy too......"
Gu Yan mentioned his wife, couldn't help but close his eyes, the cold corpse flashed back in front of his eyes, and when he heard his mother, the look on Gu Beiwang's face gradually lowered.
Just as the father and son sighed, the door of the study was suddenly opened, and they looked together, but saw Gu Pingyu, who had a pale face, standing at the door, tears falling uncontrollably......
ยท
The southernmost part of Yue Liao is also a continuous mountain, the mountain is not high, the slope is not steep, and the official road is not built on this is not even better.
It's just that this mountain is very large, and from a distance, it looks like a stocky Han squatting on the ground.
When I went into the mountains, it was even more -
At present, the plum berries have been gone for two days and have not gone out.
If it weren't for the official road, Plum Berry would have wondered if they were lost.
"I didn't dare to sleep these two nights, for fear that some jackals, tigers and leopards would attack us."
It was evening again, and Plum Berry was walking around the camp with a bow and arrow on his back, and during this time, he really shot two pheasants at Plum Berry.
"This is not the deep mountain behind Jinshui Village, just here, there are not only villages at the foot of the mountain, aren't we still passing through towns?
Half a day ago, we also passed by a tea house, and dared to open here, which means that it is very safe here. Besides, even if there are those beasts, if you dare to do it......"
Mei You weighed the long knife in his hand, and gestured at Mei Berry "playfully", Mei Berry also smiled, and echoed: "When the time comes, let's take the tiger skin and make two small leather skirts~"
Jia Jiu followed Mei Berry not far behind them to protect the safety of the two of them, and then when he heard what they said, Jia Jiu couldn't help but give the tiger some wax.
What a world, people are more terrible than tigers!
On the other side of the plum berry, apart from the two pheasants that they found and shot at the beginning, they didn't find any other animals at all.
On the way back, Mei You saw the mushrooms growing under the trees on the side of the road, so she simply suggested that she get some mushrooms and eat them.
In this regard, Mei Berry had no opinion, and picked mushrooms with Mei You.
With the help of the system, Mei Berry picks mushrooms at a much faster speed, but she has a new discovery - Mei You's ability to pick poisonous mushrooms for so long is really unabated!
When looking at the bunch of mushrooms in Mei You's arms that were judged by the system to be all poisonous, the expression on Mei Berry's face was quite exciting.
So, Meiberry couldn't sleep that night.
In the middle of the night, someone in the team learns the full moon werewolf howling, who dares to sleep?
In the barren mountains and mountains, there are still people crying and shouting that they have seen a lot of villains, who dares to sleep?
When looking out of the carriage, Mei Berry looked at these people who seemed to be infected by the zombie virus, and she turned her head to look at Mei You, who was sleepy with her hands on her shoulders.
Where can you not see that this matter has Mei You's handwriting?
"This ...... Did they eat mushrooms? โ
"Hmm." Mei nodded, "Let's see if they will expose anything like this?" โ
"Do you see anything now?"
"I don't talk on weekdays, but I eat too many mushrooms and talk quite densely."
Plum berry: "......"
Plum Berry: I don't eat poisonous mushrooms, and it's quite secret.
Mei You: You should try to talk less.
Plum berries: ......
