Volume 1 In the World 024-Xiao Biesheng is newly married
When the sky was just dawning, the morning mist was getting thicker, and Goofy had already set foot on the road to Lingqiu City.
He only had one person and one rider on this trip, because this time he went to Lingqiu City to go through the motions, and he didn't need to bring other entourage. He rode very fast, because when he looked up and saw that the morning sun was full of sky, he couldn't tell when it was going to rain.
He looked solemn and worried all the way.
Because after Gao Yuan had left the previous night, he had noticed that there were other people in the tent besides himself.
How could Gao Yuan suddenly ask him such an inexplicable question?
"The night before my father's birthday banquet, did I only see you and my eldest brother?"
Gao Yuan's strange eyes were still vivid, as if he was interrogating a vicious murderer, and Gao Fei suddenly felt shocked:
"Does he still suspect that I killed my father and eldest brother?"
Who have been here before?
The tent was made of ordinary sandy ground, and people would leave obvious footprints on it, but there were several other shallow footprints in addition to the footprints of the two brothers.
"The footprints are still very fresh, indicating that I have just left, maybe I found that I came and left in a hurry, the footprints are very shallow, indicating that this person is very good, or, this person is a woman?"
Gao Fei gradually guessed the purpose of the visitor, and the two armies were fighting at a critical juncture, sneaking into the camp to sow discord and try to create internal contradictions.
However, although he guessed the other party's purpose, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, what kind of person had such a high level of martial arts to sneak into the camp without being discovered, and could still retreat quietly before he came?
The most important thing is that Gao Yuan obviously trusts this person very much, and looking at his state at the time, he has almost completely believed in this person's demagogy.
Goofy was still thinking about it, and he didn't notice that there was also a horse running on the other side.
Until the moment when the two horses staggered, Goofy caught a glimpse of the figure on the horse out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly pulled the reins suddenly, and the galloping horse was stopped by this abrupt pull, and the horse's head jumped high, almost throwing Goofy off the horse.
He didn't panic, he didn't have time to panic, and even all the worries and doubts in his heart just now were swept away.
His heart was filled with a sudden ecstasy, for he saw the familiar figure that had been haunted for a long time.
Diyun City, inside the royal palace.
Zhu Lan stood in front of the palace gate, summoning 10,000 yellow-robed forbidden troops to assemble.
The battle outside the city was fierce, but the eastern garrison led by the eldest brother Zhu Long was gradually showing fatigue.
The army build-up is slow, and the forbidden army should not be in such a state.
If it had been two months ago, I was afraid that these forbidden troops would have been assembled a long time ago, and when they went to the city gate to intercept Gao Fei, everyone rushed to make meritorious contributions.
But now it's different, two months have passed, and what these forbidden troops are thinking about is no longer how to grab merit, but how to save their lives, after all, if people from outside the city come in, their 10,000 forbidden troops will not be able to stop them no matter what.
Since it can't be stopped, why send it to death, gather now, and it will be inconvenient to escape when the time comes.
Zhu Lan looked at these soldiers in front of him, and he also understood their thoughts very well, after all, now he himself is not sure of surviving, although everything was done according to his father's arrangement, but he still did not see the hope of a desperate situation.
"Is it true that my Zhu family is not only going to decline, but also to perish because of it?" Zhu Lan sighed in his heart, thirty years ago, when grandfather Zhu Ziliang was still alive, the Zhu family was the absolute number one clan in Southern Chu. Zhu Ziliang is heroic and extraordinary, outstanding in martial arts, commanding the three armies, and heroic, which is the era when the Southern Chu State was at the height of the Great Wilderness and dominated the world.
It's a pity that after the death of his grandfather, the Gao family rose rapidly, and the successor Xinjun deliberately suppressed the Zhu family.
The appearance of the head of the family has also made the Zhu family suffer more contempt in Nanchu since then, but he and his eldest brother have not become talents, and they are dwarfed by the amazing young juniors of the Gao family.
The Zhu family has fallen to this point, looking at his increasingly thin and gloomy father, Zhu Lan feels even more heartache, but he never thought that even if the family declined, why would he be involved in this big case of rebellion and rebellion? Although his father never said it, Zhu Lan knew in his heart that the real murderer of the monarch was really his father Zhu Ning.
Zhu Lan is not tall, his appearance is mediocre, and his talent and ability are not outstanding, among the famous children of Nanchu, he has always been looked down upon by others, he thought that he had spent this mediocre time, and he never expected to be involved in such a big case.
Before chasing Gao Fei, he also considered the interests of the family and obeyed his father's arrangement, and now all this is about to usher in the final liquidation, he suddenly felt that he was being manipulated like a marionette from beginning to end, he never really understood the truth of all this, and deep down he was never willing to do these things that aided and abused and hurt nature, but at this last moment, he had to involuntarily take these forbidden troops to do the final death struggle.
He suddenly felt tired, he thought to himself: If Gao Fei really comes in, let these forbidden troops decide for themselves, anyway, history is written by geniuses and heroes, and insignificant people like himself are just a foil and stepping stone for these heroes.
He instructed the adjutant: "Let them disband themselves, and do whatever they want, and there is no need to assemble." After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the sky aimlessly, and left silently, as if he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
On the way back to Diyun City from Qingqiu Mountain, Lin Qianyuan had been riding a horse for a day and a night.
The night's rush had made her feel a little drowsy, and the fog had made her barely able to see the road in front of her.
But she was still subconsciously hurrying away, because she thought that her father must be in a hurry when she had been missing for so long, and she had to go back as soon as possible.
The fog of the early morning became thicker and thicker, and in a trance she seemed to see another horse galloping in front of her, she didn't care about it at first, until the moment when the two sides staggered, she seemed to have a familiar figure in front of her, and her sleepy eyelids suddenly hit a spirit.
Then she heard a rapid neighing of horses.
So she also pulled the reins.
The moment she looked back, she saw that he had turned the horse's head and walked over, she saw him laughing, so she couldn't help laughing, she couldn't see how beautiful her smile was, she could only hear her own murmuring: "Am I dreaming?"
Goofy had already walked up to her on horseback, his voice gentle but firm: "It's not a dream, Qianyuan, it's me, I finally see you again." ”
When he said these words, there was no more hatred of the country and family in his mind, no more fierce battles going on in Diyun City, no more worries about the suspicion of his siblings last night, no more the bride he was about to marry, and his mind was now full of this girl who made him miserable and happy.
He said distressedly: "You have lost a lot of weight. ”
Lin Qianyuan's eyes turned red: "You too." ”
Her small nose wrinkled, and her mouth pursed, "You're still old." After saying this, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, and couldn't help but laugh with tears in her eyes.
In the past two months, Gao Fei has been worried day and night, and there are really a few hairs on his sideburns, but they are only a few sparse ones, and they can't be detected if they don't look closely.
"Missing makes people old, and it's not because you think about it. Goofy's smile actually had the same bad taste as when they first met.
"The oil cavity is slippery. Although Lin Qianyuan was disgusted, there was a long-lost relief in his heart.
"Come down and take a walk?" Goofy suggested.
Lin Qianyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm in a hurry to go home and report my father's safety, he must be in a hurry if he hasn't seen me for half a month." ”
"It's Diyun City in front, don't be in a hurry for a while. Goofy had a begging look in his eyes, "Just stay with me for a while, I want to talk to you." ”
Lin Qian's eyes widened and he smiled, "How much do you want to?"
"I really want to. After saying that, Gao Fei immediately jumped off the horse, walked over and hugged Lin Qianyuan off the horse, Lin Qianyuan smiled and hugged his neck.
"Are we considered a newlywed?" Gao Fei asked with a smile as he stared at Lin Qian's tender eyes.
Lin Qian pouted and held back a smile, and said angrily: "You still want to get married, daydreaming!"
Goofy's gaze suddenly dimmed, and he suddenly regretted that he had just said the words, the words "newlywed" kept reminding him of the purpose of his trip.
Although Lin Qianyuan turned her head, the corner of her eyes kept sneaking a glance at Gao Fei, and she immediately caught this subtle change.
"What's wrong with you?"
Goofy shook his head slightly: "It's nothing. By the way, what happened to you, how did you disappear for so long?"
Lin Qianyuan knew that Gao Fei must have a lot of worries, but seeing that he didn't want to say it, he didn't ask anymore.
She told Gao Fei what had happened to her these days, and in order not to worry him, she deliberately omitted the specific experience of being in distress in Qingqiu Mountain, only saying that she had been poisoned by the Five Poisons Gate and met a magical little girl to help her detoxify.
Rao was like this, Gao Fei still couldn't help but blame softly: "Why are you still as reckless as before, causing others to worry about you." ”
Lin Qianyuan heard that he was worried about himself, and his heart was sweet, but he deliberately sank his face and said angrily: "People told you this, and they didn't ask you to blame me. ”
Gao Fei smiled: "I know, you want me to praise you Miss Lin for being thoughtful, wise and brave, bold and reckless, and doing whatever she wants." ”
Lin Qianyuan slapped him lightly: "What kind of audacity to do whatever you want, are you a word for compliment, this word is not used correctly, change it!"
"Okay, good, change one. Gao Fei shook his head and said, "That's boldness and carefulness, it's okay to be bold and careful." ”
Lin Qianyuan smiled with satisfaction: "This is about the same." ”
She rested her head on his shoulder, feeling like their old happy days were back.
He gently hugged her into his arms, although he knew that there might not be such a happy time in the future, but he was still glad for the warmth of this moment.
Gao Fei unconsciously hugged Lin Qianqian tighter, as if he would lose her if he was not careful.
