At this moment, the decisive battle at Zhuguan on the border is imminent, and the Gu family army is calmly waiting for the opportunity to fight.
Gu Jiuge and Gu Hanmo, who were in Weizhou and Changchuan, were also waiting, waiting for the moment of a decisive battle.
They each had to lead the defenders of a city against the enemy. These few days of suffering alone were more difficult than waiting for Ling Chi with a knife resting on their necks.
But they couldn't show it in front of the generals at all, and they had to arrange the army with a calm appearance, pretending that they were confident, and they would definitely be able to keep the Xikun army out.
Even if you can't win, at least you have to delay until the arrival of reinforcements.
Gu Hanmo used to practice swords every day, but after going to Changchuan, he didn't even feel like practicing swords. He stayed in the big tent and stared at Changchuan's defense map all day long.
The problem was, Tu didn't have eyes, but he did, and those eyes quickly turned red.
For a few days, he replayed in his mind the methods of arranging troops that Gu Huaijiang and Gu Shubai had taught him one by one, thinking about the most suitable method of arranging for this battle.
Kun Wu's injury didn't make them wait too long, and the day of the decisive battle finally arrived.
Gu Shubai got up early in the morning and stood outside the tent to breathe in the fresh air. The autumn wind carried the desolate sandy smell of the frontier, which was very different from the imperial capital.
The autumn wind in the imperial capital is wetter and softer than here, with the sweet fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the wind.
There is only dry and sandy soil here, and the vicissitudes of fallen leaves are rolled up by whirling, and occasionally hit people's faces, slightly stinging.
He had a premonition that today, Kun Wushang would definitely raise an army.
Yufu hugged her baby box, the box in her arms was a bit big, blocking the sight of her feet, she tripped over a small stone and almost fell over.
Fortunately, someone held her arm, and when she looked up, it was Gu Shubai.
"Where is Yaolan going, why don't you hold the box for you? I haven't seen her by your side these days, what did you ask her to do?"
Yufu got up and stood up, "I didn't do anything, I just let her rest in the tent. When she was riding a horse before, she fell bruised and purple. Yaolan has never been wronged like this when she is so old. Naturally, she should Let her rest well. It’s fine for her to follow me, I can take the box by myself.”
Gu Shubai was amused when he heard this, "She has never been wronged like this since she grew up, so have you?"
Obviously Yufu is the young lady and Yaolan is the maid, Yufu is much more delicate than Yaolan, but she does everything by herself in order to let Yaolan have a good rest.
Yu Fu tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's not a grievance, but my second brother and I went to Changzhou last winter. At that time, we traveled day and night in the snow. Is it more experienced than her?"
As he said, he patted his precious box, "Big Brother, I just happen to have something to discuss with you, let's talk in the tent!"
The sentinel outside the tent brought breakfast, simple porridge and side dishes, fortunately there was Yufu's favorite golden silk meat cloud.
The two chatted while eating breakfast, Yufu took a spoon in one hand and took out a green medicine bottle from the treasure box with the other, "I rummaged through the medicine box last night, thought about what was available, and found this. "
Gu Shubai's eyebrows twitched, and he felt that the green color on the medicine bottle was rather strange, it looked like a powerful poison.
Does Yufu also want to follow Kunwushang's example and use poison on the battlefield
He put down the spoon and wiped the corner of his mouth, "What kind of medicine is this?"
"The golden sore medicine developed by Master is very effective for wounds. If you are seriously injured during the war and the bleeding continues, this can stop the bleeding quickly. When I left the Immortal Valley, Master gave it to me. I put it in the box and I Almost forgot."
Yu Fu has never been injured, let alone bleeding, at most, he had nosebleeds when he was a child.
She never had time to use this unique golden sore medicine.
It turned out that it was just a medicine for gold sores...
Gu Shubai breathed a sigh of relief, took the green medicine bottle, and sniffed it with the tip of his nose, "I thought it was poison, I remember that in your medicine box, the more poisonous the medicine bottle, the weirder it is."
"I made up those medicines myself, so it's easier to remember. This medicine was given by Master, and every medicine bottle of Master is very weird. He likes strange houses and strange shapes of medicine bottles the most. .”
Yu Fu patiently explained to him, and then said seriously: "I don't need the poison that can be used on the battlefield, but I don't care about Kunwu's injuries, but I don't care about it. The large-scale use of poison is certainly powerful, but it pollutes the water and soil too much. If you are not careful, innocent people will suffer. Even if it only affects the people of Xikun, it is still an innocent life."
Gu Shubai was surprised by her thoughts, and touched the top of her hair, "I thought the same way, I didn't expect you and I to coincide. The battlefield is a battlefield for soldiers, and civilians of any country should not be implicated .You are right, if father hears what you say, he will be proud of you too."
Yu Fu looked up at him obediently, like a well-behaved cat curled up in someone's arms.
She said: "The general thinks this way, in fact, the master thinks the same way. He has always disapproved of us using the medicine Changshengsan, which has strong lethality and is easy to implicate innocent people. The master said that the medicine is to fall into the enemy's trap and escape. It’s used from time to time, Kun Wushang violated Master’s words, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to return to Immortal Valley.”
Yu Fu frowned, "Actually, he wasn't like this before. Master knew that the Xikun disciples had other purposes in the Valley of the Immortals, but he still kept him in the valley because he felt that his nature was not bad. He used to love to laugh in the Valley of the Immortals. He is troublesome and always likes to follow me. At that time, I thought he was not stingy, but now I understand that he is actually using this to steal Gu Zhong's secret medicine formula."
"The formula of Changshengsan must have been stolen from me by him."
Yu Fu blamed herself a little. She was too young to be on guard against Kun Wu's injury, and he stole the prescription that Master didn't want to give him.
It would be fine if it was a side medicine, but it happened to be Changsheng Powder, which took the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Gu family army.
Kun Wushang's crimes are too numerous to list, and Yu Fu is not without responsibility.
Gu Shubai knew what she didn't say in his heart. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, "Don't think too much, it's none of your business. I can see that Kun Wushang is sincere to you, and he doesn't want to Hurt you. People have thousands of faces, he is a clingy junior in front of you, so you naturally have no intention of guarding against him."
Yu Fu nestled in his arms, his skin had the same smell as his own, a faint fragrance of green grass.
When the aromas of the two places meet together, it is completely natural, just like two people who were originally one are reunited.
Yu Fu whispered: "When he was in Immortal Valley, he really wasn't what he is now. He would run to the stream to steal the clothes that the senior brothers took off after taking a bath, and he would laugh when he was chased and beaten by the senior brothers. Talk to me a few more words, buy all kinds of delicious pastries to please Yaolan... Yaolan has always liked him, treating him like an older brother. I told her to stay in the tent and not go out, and I didn't want her to hear about The news of Kunwu's injury."
Gu Shubai nodded, "No wonder Yaolan used to send news to him when he was in the imperial capital, so there is such a thing."
"Yufu, people are subject to change. If Kunwu is injured, you and I are no exception. As the prince of Xikun, he has many things to do, but if he is wrong, he is wrong. And you are still young, and you will always When you grow up, you can no longer use the eyes of a child to look at the people around you, understand?"
Yu Fu hesitated for a moment, "Then will big brother change too?"
Gu Shubai told him affirmatively, "Of course it will. As the situation changes, everyone will change. It's like my father was unwilling to cross the boundary marker to attack Xikun before, but now he has changed."
Yu Fu said: "The Great General is different from Kun Wu's injury, he is defending his family and the country, his actions have changed, but his heart has not changed!"
After saying this, she fell into deep thought.
People's actions will change, but their hearts will not. As long as you keep your own heart, you don't have to worry about the changes of all things.
"Then will big brother change like the general?"
She finally figured it out, Gu Shubai said with a smile: "Of course, the children in the Guhou Mansion were raised by their father, and all of them have inherited his style."
That's good, Yu Fu looked up at him with a smile, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard the warning sound from the army.
The Xikun army is attacking!
Gu Shubai immediately got up and walked out, Yufu stuffed the medicine bottle in his hand and stood there watching him leave.
Next is his battlefield, she just needs to stay here quietly—
Wait for him to come back.
