It was snowing heavily, and on the way back to the imperial capital, Gu Yi rode beside Gu Shubai.
He shook his head with a look of joy, still nibbling on the snack Yufu brought him, and handed one to Gu Shubai casually.
"Brother, have a snack!"
"Don't eat now, we have to cross the cliff ahead, be careful."
Gu Shubai rode his horse forward a few steps to lead the team, when suddenly a gust of wind hit the front door!
"careful!"
His voice spread in the wind and snow, but before Gu Yi came back to his senses, a murderous sword pierced his chest with a cold glow.
"Brother, save me!"
Gu Yi fell to the ground, blood spurted from the cut neck, dyeing the snow red.
The half-bitten green dumpling rolled on the ground, covered in blood.
"Brother, save me! Fifth brother, save me!"
"Gu Yi, I'm here to save you! Brother Wu is here to save you!"
Gu Xiang yelled and stretched out his hand towards Gu Yi, but he couldn't catch him no matter what.
"Gu Yi! Gu Yi!"
"Gu Xiang, wake up!"
His face was slapped twice, and Gu Xiang sat up suddenly, only to realize that he was dreaming, and Gu Wenqing was sitting beside his bed holding a lamp.
Gu Xiang wiped off his sweat, still in shock, "Fourth Brother, why are you here?"
Gu Wenqing put the lamp beside the bed, "I saw that the moonlight was good tonight, and I went out for a walk, and I heard you yelling when I passed your yard. Your close servant was too sleepy, and I could hear it outside the yard." See, can't he hear you in the courtyard?"
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the boy was named Xiaomu, he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he tiptoed about in his clothes.
He came in with tea, and said embarrassedly: "In the past, the sixth son slept dishonestly. When the sixth son went to Jinling, I was lazy. Fourth son, please don't tell Guanshi Qi, I will never dare again."
He wanted to come over when he heard the voice, but when he saw Gu Wenqing coming in from the courtyard, he simply went to pour tea first.
Gu Wenqing didn't blame him after seeing the tea, "You are the only one who is lazy, but it's strange, the fifth son of your family has never had nightmares."
After drinking the tea, Gu Xiang regained his composure, frowned and shook his head.
"I don't know what's going on. I haven't been able to sleep well recently. Just now I dreamed about Gu Yi and my eldest brother. Gu Yi had his throat cut and fell in the snow. His blood stained the whole area red."
Gu Wenqing covered his mouth, "It's just a dream, Chinese New Year is coming, don't say these unlucky things."
Gu Xiangdao: "Fourth brother, are you in your teens today?"
Little Wood rushed to answer: "Fifth Young Master has been really confused recently, he is twenty today. He will be twenty-one at dawn!"
twenty one
Isn't it nine days before the Chinese New Year
"Fourth brother, don't you think something's wrong? It stands to reason that eldest brother and the others should have returned a few days ago. Even if the wind and snow on the road delayed their journey, they shouldn't have come back until now."
Gu Wenqing nodded, "Yesterday I went to the room to greet my father, and I vaguely heard my father chatting with Steward Qi, saying that the letter from my eldest brother was also broken for seven or eight days."
Gu Xiang said urgently: "Brother is the safest thing to do. Whenever you go out, you must have a letter for a few days to make your family feel at ease. How could you break the letter for seven or eight days?"
He lifted the quilt, grabbed a coat from the end of the bed and put it on, "Fourth brother, I have a bad feeling, I think big brother and the others must have had an accident! Gu Yi has a telepathy with me since he was a child. Knowing if he's going to shit or fart. I can't dream of him dying for no reason!"
Gu Wenqing grabbed his arms, "What are you going to do now, tell your father? What if you are just thinking wildly and disturbing your father in the middle of the night?"
"Fourth brother, you trust me! I dare to issue a military order for you. Something must have happened to Gu Yi, you trust me!"
The people in Gu Hou's mansion would not say the word military order lightly, he must be sure when he said so, Gu Wenqing pulled him back and walked out the door.
"Go, go and tell father!"
"Hey, hey fourth brother, I haven't put on my shoes yet..."
Shang Fangfu lit the lamp again, Qi An and Qi Zhou waited in the courtyard, not knowing what happened.
All I know is that Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang came to look for Gu Huaijiang in the middle of the night, something must have happened, how can everyone in the mansion sleep
As soon as Gu Jiuge heard the news, he rushed to the upper room immediately.
"Father."
He cupped his hands and saluted, seeing Gu Huaijiang ordered someone to make the tea strong, he took a sip and frowned slightly.
Turning to look at Gu Wenqing, "What's going on?"
Gu Xiang was the first to say: "Second brother, something happened to Eldest Brother and Gu Yi! I'm sure something must have happened to them! Father, you should send troops to find Eldest Brother and them, it will be too late!"
Gu Wenqing also said: "Father, the elder brother and the sixth younger brother have not returned home for many days, and they may have encountered some danger. When they left, they only brought forty people with them. My son wants to bring another team to meet the elder brother. !"
Gu Huaijiang kept frowning, and didn't respond to what they said.
It seems that something happened just as he expected.
Gu Jiuge remembered what Gu Shubai said the night before he left, and became more determined, "Father, there is a telepathy between the twins. When Gu Yi was a child, he messed around and fought with the children of the clan, and Gu Xiang could always feel it. This time his It definitely feels right!"
Gu Huaijiang turned to look at him, "You mean, is Gu Yi really dead?"
