Akagi seventeenth spring.

March 25, two days before the beginning of summer.

The Beiwuwei army of Dachen Town broke the royal court of the border people, beheaded the border prince Gruno Pasig Harengecuo, killed 15,000 enemies, captured 20,000 people, captured the border prince Da Yan clan and a group of concubines 13 people, and 10 heirs of the great gentleman, sweeping away the black smoke of the border land for a hundred years, which is an unprecedented victory since the founding of Dachen.

The whole army was excited, and they were stationed in the royal court of the border people for three days to celebrate their achievements.

On the night of the celebration banquet, as the biggest hero of this battle, Gu Yuean was naturally invited to sit at the table.

Gu Yuean originally didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the soldiers, so he reluctantly went.

As soon as he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, the generalissimo Wang Bucheng on the chairman had already stood up, picked up the wine bowl and said to everyone: "Come, we salute our biggest hero this time, Mr. Gu Yue Angu, come, Mr. Gu, this marshal respects you!"

As he spoke, he pointed the wine bowl towards Gu Yue'an.

Naturally, there were also soldiers on the side who immediately handed the wine to Gu Yue'an.

Gu Yuean drank the wine with a smile and said, "The general has an overreputation, Gu Mou has just done some small things." ”

"If it is a trivial matter to behead the border king, then I am afraid that there is no major matter in this world. Wang Buyi also smiled, "Do you think so?"

The generals who were qualified to drink in the Chinese military tent all agreed to the promise and laughed loudly, but there was only one person, although his face was also smiling, but his eyes were always a little playful.

This person is none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chen Jianxi.

On that day, he was about to kill the great prince of the city, Gruno Pasig Harengecuo, but suddenly a knife flew and took down Gruno's head in advance.

It can be said that it was Gu Yuean who robbed him of his share of the great merit.

But the matter has passed, especially after the big victory, although Gu Yue'an does not have any position in the Zhenbei Wuwei Army, his prestige has climbed to the top, and he can almost be on an equal footing with the generalissimo Wang Buful, plus it involves royal secrets, after all, it is really disgraceful to say that the prince fell from his horse in front of the formation, so no one mentioned it.

It's just that others don't mention it, Chen Jianwei must be uncomfortable in his heart, he looked at Gu Yue'an, and suddenly smiled at him and said: "Come, Mr. Gu, I also salute you with a bowl, and congratulate you in advance on your progress and prosperity." ”

If these words came out of someone else's mouth, it would definitely be a word of congratulations, but when it came out of the mouth of this prince, it was how it sounded and how it became twisted, especially after Gu Yuean had many suspicions with him, and there was such a big event.

Moreover, although Gu Yue'an snatched the biggest credit in the end this time, at most, Chen Jianwei could not claim the greatest credit, breaking through the royal court of the border people and leveling the border, this credit was enough for him to shine in the annals of history, and it was enough for him to stabilize the position of the crown prince and move towards the final throne.

You must know that the prince has always had a small number of soldiers, he has been on the border for many years with the respect of the prince, not afraid of the bitter cold, and has also set up such rare martial arts since the founding of the country, even if the ministers in the capital look at him unpleasantly, and no longer want him to be the emperor, even if the emperor wants to abolish him, there is no reason at all.

Then, not surprisingly, in a few years, the throne will inevitably pass to this person.

When the time comes, it will be a catastrophe and a head-to-earth?

So the tent in the Chinese army suddenly fell silent, and everyone didn't dare to speak.

Even Wang Bucheng just squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince. Gu Yue'an just smiled, if he dared to do this, he was not afraid of being retaliated against by the crown prince at all, he deliberately wanted to make him uncomfortable at that time.

The two drank wine, and the originally lively atmosphere was a little stiff.

"Speaking of steady progress, Mr. Gu, I have done my best to report your merits, I believe that I will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and your majesty will definitely have a generous reward at that time. In the end, it was Wang who broke the deadlock.

The meal was not pleasant, and it ended quickly.

However, Gu Yuean had no intention of leaving, but stayed until the end, and he was willing to come to drink this wine, in fact, a big reason was also for the next thing.

"Dashuai, Gu has a reluctant request. Gu Yuean looked at Wang Buyi and said.

"Mr. Gu, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. "Wang Bucheng is probably the person who doesn't need to give Chen Jianwei face, even if Chen Jianhui is beside him, he has a casual attitude.

"That's the case, on the way back, we encountered a big storm, although Gu Mou came back, but he was separated from several other people, and there are ......" Gu Yue settled down for a while, and said, "Your thirteenth son, unfortunately died in battle, please ......"

"Not necessarily. Wang Buyi didn't wait for Gu Yuean to finish speaking, then waved his hand, "It is a man's duty to die on the battlefield, there is no need to be sad, he himself knows that the moment he steps on the battlefield, he will inevitably die suddenly one day, so Mr. Gu doesn't need to comfort me, but Mr. Gu's lost companions, I will ask someone to find them." ”

"So, thank you very much. Gu Yue'an was stunned for a moment to be honest, he really didn't expect Wang to be like this......

What should I say, cold-blooded?

Or have you already seen through the destiny of heaven?

In short, if he had such a father, he would definitely not feel any happiness.

After that, the army drove back, leaving only 5,000 people to stay in the border king's court.

Gu Yue'an waited in the royal court of the border people for ten days, and went to look for it for five days in person, but still found nothing, and there was still no news about the kite.

That thread was never reconnected.

Holding the kite in his arms must not be a disaster, but he didn't want to come to see him again, so Gu Yuean finally chose to leave.

Returning to the front line of the Lion River, Gu Yuean officially bid farewell to Wang Buyi and prepared to return to Beijing.

This time, he can be regarded as overfulfilling the task given by the emperor, although he actually doesn't want to be an official at all, but he thinks it will be very helpful to Wang Lin's career in the capital.

When he left, what he didn't expect was that Wen Ruyu and Huang Zichen would go back with him.

But that didn't surprise him too much.

The most unexpected thing should be that the five people from Yangzhou will also go back with him.

"A few of you have already been awarded the Zhonglang General for merit, follow me back, but there is nothing, do you really want to go with me?" Gu Yuean looked at them, of course, mainly at Xu Che.

Among these five people, Xu Che is the one in charge.

Gu Yue'an didn't refuse these people, judging from a series of events, these five people are really good soldiers, and they can make a career wherever they are placed, but he feels that they have suffered a lot from him.

"Zhonglang General is also following Gu Daxia to Zhonglang General, without Gu Daxia, we are nothing. Xu Che didn't reply positively, just said so.

All of a sudden, everyone laughed again, only Su Yugui, who was born to be incompatible with Gu Yue'an, pouted and muttered who is rare.

So Gu Yuean didn't ask again and accepted them.
