Chapter 037: Provocation
The pre-war banquet of the Huangpu family did not produce any moths, although there were small range of verbal swords, but overall it was a 'banquet of unity, a banquet of harmony'!
Early the next morning, hundreds of thousands of troops began to gradually march towards the northern border. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother Yi. Huang Puying looked at Gu Yi with reluctance on her face. Although she was only twelve years old, it was naturally impossible for her to follow everyone to the front line, so she could only bid farewell to Gu Yi here.
"Well, practice well. Gu Yi smiled slightly, looked at the girl in front of him and said gently. After a month of getting along, this simple girl was completely accepted by him, even if the identity of the other party may become his enemy in the future.
"Brother Yi, can we still meet?" Huang Puying bit her lip, and a mist rose in her eyes.
"That's nature, when the army returns victoriously, I ......" Gu Yi still wanted to say something, but when he saw Huang Puying's big pure eyes, he was silent for a while.
"We will definitely meet again!" After being silent for a while, Gu Yi raised his head and looked into the girl's eyes and said seriously.
"Hmm!" Huang Puying nodded vigorously, her face full of affirmation.
"With your qualifications, you will definitely be able to become an innate master within ten years!" Gu Yi paused and decided to explain a few words to the other party, "If there are any difficulties in the future, you go to Li Xunhuan and Brother Li, he will help me protect you!"
"Yes. Huang Puying nodded in a low voice, and watched Gu Yi get on his horse and pass in the direction of the advance of the large army.
As a precocious girl, Huangpu Ying realized the irreconcilable contradiction between Gu Yi and the Huangpu family very early. She could think that Gu Yi would definitely find an opportunity to leave the Huangpu family after this war!
After knowing that Gu Yi's martial arts, known as 'Tai Chi', were valued by the people in the rivers and lakes, Huang Puying guessed the methods that the family would use. When his aunt Huang Pu Ling told him that Gu Yi, who had only met once, was interested in moving on him, Huang Pu Ying guessed Gu Yi's thoughts for the first time.
As a girl who is determined to change her fate, Huang Puying did not tell anyone what she thought, she also thought that she could rely on this opportunity to break the shackles on her body and not be regarded as a victim by her family.
At the beginning of the contact with Gu Yi, Huang Puying had a lot of drill elements in it. Especially the appearance of the shy little girl, it was a perfect performance! But after getting along, Huang Puying gradually really accepted Gu Yi. Especially in just one month of getting along, she can clearly feel Gu Yi's feelings for herself!
What's more, when Gu Yi handed over the two peerless martial arts to himself, Huang Puying's deep resentment and resentment towards Gu Yi completely disappeared, and was replaced by a gradually rising admiration.
Huangpu Ying had a hunch that after Gu Yi went to the north with the army to fight this time, the other party would leave Huangpu's house.
Although the twelve-year-old girl still can't understand what her true feelings for Gu Yi are in her heart, she knows very well that she is reluctant. However, she is smart and knows that Gu Yi can't stay in the Huangpu family!
After watching Gu Yi's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Huang Puying's face gradually became cold, no longer the cute girl she used to be, and after a final glance at the direction in the distance, Huang Puying turned around and left the small hill to see him off.
About ten miles away by a large tree.
"Say goodbye to Ying'er?" Huang Pu Ling and Li Xunhuan were already waiting for Gu Yi in the distance on their horses, and after the other party came, Huang Pu Ling looked at him and asked.
"Hmm. Gu Yi nodded, without much expression on his face.
"Okay, let's hurry up!" Huang Puling looked at Gu Yi for a while, then pulled the reins, patted the horse and galloped towards the north.
"Let's go. Li Xunhuan smiled, also threw down his horsewhip, and followed to the north.
"Drive!" Gu Yi glanced back in the direction of Huangpu City, and the same horsewhip was raised, chasing after the two of them.
======================================================================
Huang Pu Ling took Li Xunhuan and Gu Yi to walk very fast, and did not follow the large army, but took the lead in rushing to the fortress pass located on the northern border. For three days and two nights, except for the necessary food and rest, almost non-stop, the three of them rushed to the fortress pass to defend against the barbarian attack on the front.
"My nephew has seen my aunt, Brother Li, Brother Gu!" Huang Pu Sheng, as the core personnel of the Huangpu family who was here in the early stage, naturally had to walk out of the fortress to greet Huang Pu Ling and them.
"Sheng'er, what's the situation in the camp?!" Huang Pu Ling was not verbose, and asked directly after dismounting.
"The camp is completely completed. Huang Pu Sheng looked respectful, for this aunt, he was not willing to slack off in the slightest, "At present, we are strengthening the pass, trying our best to ensure that the barbarian race can resist the attack of the other party as much as possible when attacking. ”
"Good. Huang Pu Ling nodded, and then said, "We're in a hurry, let's go rest first." The large army in the back will come back to inform us when they arrive. ”
"My nephew got it. Huangpu Sheng replied, and then said to Huangpu Zhengde beside him, "Zhengde, wait for my aunt and them to rest in the fortress." ”
"Yes. Huangpu Zhengde immediately stood up, "Miss, Li Daxia, Gu Shaoxia, please follow me." ”
Gu Yi bowed his hand to Huangpu Sheng, and followed Huangpu Ling and Li Xunhuan into the fortress.
The huge fortress wall between the two high mountains is nearly 18 zhang and 9 zhang thick, although the whole area is not large, but the whole is very grand. Not only that, but this fortress sandwiched between two mountains perfectly puts this narrow pass in the first place, and it is a very good pass!
Before coming, Gu Yi had seen some maps, and the pass here was the place where the northern prairie and the southern plain of human activity were connected. As long as you pass this pass, whether you go north or south, it will be a flat river, and there is no dangerous place to guard.
Of course, this is not to say that there is only one place where the northern steppes and the southern human activity area can travel to and from each other. It's just that the rest of the places are either rocky and criss-crossed, crisscrossed by various cliffs and lack of supplies, or the mountains and forests are densely covered with wild beasts, and the giants are roaming there, or they are simply swampy wetlands with dense water systems, which are not suitable for passage at all.
For thousands of years, fierce battles have taken place here every once in a while, and human beings have resisted the invasion of the barbarians here several times and kept each other out.
In any case, this majestic pass has been built into a huge fortress, and has become an important building to protect mankind against foreign invasion! Because of its special status and uniqueness, it is known as the 'first pass in the world' and the 'Scarlet Fortress'!
Gu Yi stood on the northern wall of the fortress, looking at the workers below who were seriously filling the cracks and gaps in the pass, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although the huge walls are not very tidy due to constant restoration, they seem to be full of holes and new earth. But there are still many dark brown marks on the entire city wall at most.
Although these dark brown marks did not have much blood due to the time, it was evident from the fact that they appeared almost everywhere in the city walls that the battle here was terrible!
"Brother Gu!" A familiar voice came from behind Gu Yi, and when he looked back, it was Huang Pu Sheng, who had met before.
"Brother Huangpu!" Gu Yi arched his hand with a smile.
"Brother Gu has been so fortunate all the way, why did you come here and not go back to rest?" Huang Pusheng came to Gu Yi's side and asked with a smile.
"It's okay to rest. Gu Yi set his eyes on the city wall again, and said with emotion, "Isn't this the first time I've come here, I want to see what this 'first pass in the world' and the 'Scarlet Fortress' look like!"
"Worthy of the name, right?!" Huang Pu Sheng nodded, and said with the same emotion, "I was the same as you when I first came here! When I first came, I also felt that I was still a minor when the barbarian invasion last time, and I couldn't participate in the big war, and I was quite sorry!"
"Oh?!" Gu Yi looked at the other party, thinking about it, after all, the other party is a member of the Huangpu family, and the Huangpu family has also taken turns to defend here in the past ten years, and the other party will definitely not be here for the first time.
"Oh yes, I heard that Xiao Ying'er is practicing martial arts with Brother Gu?!" Huang Pusheng turned his head and looked at Gu Yi and asked.
"Yes. Gu Yi nodded and looked at the other party.
"I have long heard that Brother Gu is not very old, but his martial arts are extraordinary, my Huang Pu Sheng wants to have a fight with you, I don't know if I can appreciate my face?!" Huang Pu Sheng looked excited, looked at Gu Yi and asked.
"At the moment of the great enemy, let's talk about this kind of thing after we have defeated the barbarian race. Gu Yi saw that the other party seemed to have a sign of saying goodbye to him, but he had long lost the recklessness of a young man, but said indifferently with a smile.
"Brother Gu is not right to say that!" Huang Pusheng would not give up like this, standing in front of Gu Yi and saying provocatively, "Isn't Brother Gu afraid?"
"Huh. How could Gu Yi be provoked by such a superficial provocation, but said calmly, "Brother Huangpu, don't provoke me. Here and now, what we have to do is to recharge our energy and deal with the imminent strong enemy! I don't care about such a false name, if Brother Huangpu really thinks so...... Even if it is. ”
"You ......" Huangpu Sheng's face changed, and he was about to say something, but he saw Huangpu Zhengchun walking up from behind.
"Young Master, the eldest lady and Li Daxia are here. ”
"Got it. Huang Pusheng's face changed slightly, and then he smiled at Gu Yiqiang and said, "In that case, after defeating the barbarian race, I will have a discussion with Brother Gu." At that point, you don't have to shirk it anymore!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Gu Yi smiled, saw Huang Pu Ling and Li Xunhuan walking over, arched his hand to Huang Pu Sheng, and greeted Huang Pu Ling and the others.
