The team went all the way north, and the scenery along the way was beautiful.
Everyone was in a relaxed mood, and the only concern was the injury on Gu Hanmo's arm.
"Third Brother should have fully healed his injuries before leaving, and he was worried that the situation would change again in Dongling Dynasty, so I can only wrong Third Brother."
Yufu and Yuehu took turns taking care of Gu Hanmo in the carriage, changing his medicine and feeding him, paying attention to his injuries at all times.
Gu Hanmo's right arm can't be moved for the time being, but his body is fine, he said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, even if this arm is useless, I'm willing."
He exchanged one arm for Gu Huaijiang's life, this deal is very good deal.
Yuehu tied the curtain of the carriage with a ribbon and pointed outside, "Fortunately, the weather is getting cooler and cooler all the way north, otherwise his injury will only get worse. This knife hurts the bones and muscles, and I don't dare to take a good rest." Guaranteed to return to normal."
Yu Fu glanced at the roof of the carriage, "Third brother's carriage was ordered to be made of a sunshade by a craftsman, just because the hot weather would affect the third brother's injury. Third brother, can you hold on? In two more days We will be able to reach the boundary of Immortal Valley."
"Immortal Valley?"
Gu Hanmo frowned, and struggled to get up, Yu Fu hurriedly added a cushion behind him, "Didn't you go to Beili? Why did you go to Immortal Valley?"
Yuehu said: "Why else, of course it's because of your injury! Immortal Valley is closer, and it's good for your injury to settle there first. Besides, you are a martial arts practitioner, if your arm can't recover, it's a big deal, Yufu Don’t worry, let Master treat you by himself.”
Gu Hanmo immediately refused, "Why bother? I know my injuries well, so don't be so troublesome. I see Mr. Chen has been very anxious these days, and he seems to want to go back to Beili very soon, is it Beili? Is there something in the middle that is urgent for you to go back? Let's not delay on the road."
Yu Fu dodged his gaze for a moment, then quickly raised his head and said: "It's okay, no trouble. Actually, it's not all because of third brother. I may not have seen Master for a long time, so I miss him. There is also the general, since the accident at home, the general His health has not been good, and I also want Master to show him."
After she said this, Gu Hanmo couldn't say anything more, so he held up the medicine bowl with his uninjured left arm, "Actually, I don't need to bother you to feed the medicine every day, I can do it myself."
After all, he raised his bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Yuehu pinched his nose and looked at him in disbelief, "My God, you drank such a bitter medicine all at once? Don't you want to vomit?"
Yu Fu gently tugged on her sleeve, thinking that she didn't want to vomit at first, but she couldn't help but vomit after hearing her words.
The team stopped slowly, Gu Shubai came over and opened the curtain, "Yufu, it's getting late, the team stopped to recuperate, this forest is very cool. I'll help the third brother down to get some air, and you all go down to rest too Bar!"
When everyone got out of the carriage, they saw a verdant forest on the side of the road, with shadows under the shade of the trees, and occasionally there were a few spots of light shaking.
Not far away, a small river is sparkling, and the sound of gurgling water is refreshing.
Here is close to the border of Dongling Northland, sparsely populated, the natural scenery is not artificially penetrated, and it has a unique wildness.
Gu Shubai put Gu Hanmo on the stone under the tree, everyone got off the car and rested under the tree, looking at the scenery in front of them, they felt much more relaxed.
"Your Highness, I have something to discuss with you."
Yu Fuzheng was bringing dry food to Gu Hanmo, and seeing Chen Jingxing coming to her with a serious face, Yin Jixie hurried up and said, "Yu Fu, you go, I'll take care of you here."
Yu Fu nodded towards her, and followed Chen Jing to a deserted place beside the small river.
Chen Jingxing took out a letter from his sleeve, "Your Highness, this is a letter from Lord Tian. Both the court and the central government hope that Your Highness can return to China as soon as possible."
"You don't need to read it, just say what's important."
Yu Fu didn't reach out to receive the letter, there was some conflict between his words.
Standing under the tree, Gu Shubai talked to Gu Hanmo, and when he saw the riverside from a distance, he immediately felt that something was wrong with Yufu.
She was obviously very happy that the rescue of Gu Hou's mansion was successfully concluded, but she suddenly became depressed in the past two days.
Could it be that something happened in Beili Dynasty
Chen Jing looked at Yu Fu in embarrassment, "Your Highness, there may be something in Lord Tian's letter that I shouldn't read."
"I trust Mr. Chen. You can read anything Tian Yunpo wants to tell me about the affairs of the court. If you don't read it, burn the letter. I'll go back and take care of third brother."
She made a gesture to leave, but Chen Jingxing hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay, "Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll just watch!"
He read the letter very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance, and quickly read the entire letter, and said while reading: "Your Highness, what Lord Tian means is that since Dong Ling's affairs have been settled, I hope you will return to China as soon as possible, and don't leave any more information." It’s a detour to the Immortal Valley. A country cannot be without a king for a day. Seeing that His Majesty and the Empress have been gone for three years, it’s time for you to go back and ascend the throne.”
Yu Fu smiled softly, "Did Tian Yunpo say the words about ascending the throne?"
Chen Jingxing was stunned for a moment, then he lifted up the letter and read it carefully, but this point was not mentioned in the letter.
He thought for a while and said: "This is a tacit understanding between the court and China. Why bother to talk about it? All the ministers in the court think so. In the past, His Highness was young and did not want to inherit the rule early, but now His Highness has grown up to be a man." With your appearance, you will naturally be enthroned when you return to your country."
Yu Fu turned to look at him, and said sternly: "Master Chen said that a country cannot be without a king for a day, but I, Beili, have been doing well without a king for three years. Why? Tian Yun's broken body and no official position can make Master Chen hang everywhere Speaking of which, what is his status in the court? If Tian Yunpo is really loyal, he has waited for this palace for two or three years, is he afraid of waiting a few more days?"
"Master Chen has been working in foreign affairs for so many years, so his thinking shouldn't be so naive. How did you conclude that Tian Yunpo is willing to let me become the throne?"
Her last sentence frightened Chen Jingxing. Chen Jingxing stood there in a daze, and held up the letter again, this time reading it word by word.
The letter did not mention half a word, to let Yufu return to the country and ascend the throne...
When he put down the letter again, Yu Fu had already left.
Back to the resting place under the tree, everyone looked at Yufu worriedly, as if they wanted to ask but dared not.
Chen Jingxing's changes in the past few days were seen by everyone, in the past he would not avoid everyone when discussing anything with Yu Fu, after all, everyone fled from the imperial capital together to share life and death.
Since Chen Jingxing called Yufu to discuss alone, it must be to discuss some state affairs in the Beili Dynasty, some things that should not be known to them, right
Gu Hanmo took the lead and said: "Yufu, I discussed it with my father and brother just now, and I think it's better to go directly to Beili. My injury really doesn't matter. I remember that Tianshu can use a left-handed sword, even if my right arm It’s no good, I can learn from Tianshu to use my left arm in the future. Senior sister, Tianshu will teach me, right?”
Yuehu hurriedly said: "Ah? Yes! That boy Tianshu listens to me the most, and he regards you as a good friend, and will teach you whatever you say."
As soon as Yu Fu heard their tone, he knew that they were worried about Chen Jingxing's discussion with her, and didn't want to delay her trip back to Beili.
She refused: "No! The third brother is a natural martial arts genius. In the future, I still count on you to serve my Beili in a healthy and sound way. How can I let your arm be disabled? And the general, the general's body Don't you bother?"
Yufu looked at Gu Huaijiang as if asking for help, and Gu Huaijiang sighed, "Yufu, if you encounter any problems, please tell us, and we will work together to find a solution. Although Guhou's mansion is gone now, and the previous power is gone, but We are all your relatives, at least we can share some worries for you."
Yu Fu randomly picked a clean place to sit down, "It seems that if I don't explain clearly to everyone, it will make everyone feel uncomfortable. It's better to explain clearly."
Chen Jingxing walked over slowly, and when he heard Yu Fu's words, he sat beside the crowd, like a child who has done something wrong.
Yu Fu glanced at him, and slowly said: "Do you still remember what I told you, there was a rebellion three years ago in Beili Kingdom, and my father, emperor and mother died in that rebellion?"
Everyone nodded, and Yu Fu continued: "It was the loyal and upright ministers in the court who acted spontaneously to annihilate the rebels and purge the court, and the leader of them is the old minister Tian Taishi. The position of Beili's grand master is equivalent to Dongling's prime minister and cabinet. Shoufu, the old grand master has devoted a lot of loyalty to Bei Li in his life, and he died last year. Because I have not been able to return to the country to inherit the throne, after the death of the old grand master, there is no one to lead the court, and the court has also experienced some small troubles After many twists and turns, Tian Yunpo, the eldest son of Grand Master Tian, won the power in the end."
When Chen Jingxing heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the heaven and earth did not take him away. He is brave and resourceful and can excel. This was spontaneously recommended by our ministers."
Yu Fu glanced at him indifferently, and remained silent.
Chen Jingxing stood up in embarrassment and walked out, turning his head three times a step, seeing that Yufu had no intention of keeping him, he walked away slowly.
Gu Shubai followed Yu Fu's gaze, "No wonder you are afraid of this Tian Yunpo, even a loyal and capable minister like Mr. Chen respects and supports him very much."
Yu Fu said: "This is also the reason why I have been reluctant to return to the country for the past two years. I know that I am too young to conquer everyone. Everyone in the court loves Tian Yunpo, and he doesn't even have a father or an official position officially conferred by me. , I can command the courtiers just as the old grand master's son, which shows his means. If I return to the country early, I will be nothing more than a puppet under his rule."
To be able to command courtiers without any official position, does Yu Fu's words imply that this Tian Yunpo is the same as Bei Li's actual monarch
Gu Shubai said: "Then what is the nature of this Tian Yunpo? He has not established himself as a king. Is he loyal to you or simply does not want to bear the name of a traitor?"
Yu Fu shook his head, "This is what I'm most worried about. In fact, I don't know much more about Bei Li than you, and I don't even know about Tian Yunpo. It's just that Master Chen and the others say that Tian Yunpo is a real He is a loyal minister, he is talented and cunning, but he never uses tricks. But according to the letters he wrote to me, he does not expect me to become emperor like other courtiers in Beili. I have a bad feeling for him I always feel that he is not a kind person."
Qi An stood outside to watch the wind, heard Yu Fu's words inadvertently, and couldn't help but think of what Gu Huaijiang said that night.
He said that Yufu's situation was not as glorious as it seemed, and he said that the situation in Beili Dynasty was not as easy as they imagined...
Let Gu Huaijiang decide everything.
Gu Hanmo said anxiously: "Then we should rush back to Beili as soon as possible. You have never acted as the crown prince of Beili before. Now that you have used this status, you will naturally receive the attention of Beili's courtiers everywhere. If you are outside If you continue to stay, I am afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and China will criticize it!"
"No."
Yu Fu shook his head, "The more anxious they are for me to go back, the less anxious I am to go back. I am a majestic prince, how can I be ruled by my subjects? If they really support me, why not wait for me for a few more days? If not, I won't go back Whatever."
She obviously had an idea long ago, and she didn't plan to discuss anything with anyone, but informed them of her decision.
"I'd like to see if he, Tian Yunpo, can't wait, or I can't wait!"
This kind of Yufu makes people feel a little strange, but also makes people feel more at ease. She has grown up and has her own ideas and opinions.
She is no longer a little girl under the protection of her father and brother in the Guhou Mansion, but a beili crown prince who is in charge of her own role, and even a generation of empress who will be in charge of rivers and mountains in the future.
Bonfires were lit around the campsite, and the shadow behind Yufu became longer and longer as the flames flickered.
Gu Shubai narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at her shadow, with a vague premonition that she was getting further and further away——
Yufu grows too fast, he can't stand still, he has to work hard to catch up, in order to be worthy of watching the world hand in hand with her.
In the night, Gu Jiuge and Yin Jixie were talking by the river, while Yufu had already fallen asleep in the carriage.
Gu Shubai and Gu Hanmo leaned against the tree outside the carriage, talking while holding a bonfire, "Brother, do you still remember the lantern that that strange scholar named Wen gave us during the Lantern Festival?"
Gu Shubai said: "I remember. At that time, I always felt that the lantern was weird, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Later, when I saw His Majesty put the lantern in Yushan Building, I forgot to think about the weirdness."
Gu Hanmo smiled, "I know what's weird about that lantern. Brother, I still remember that there was a lonely desert eagle on my lantern. The eagle broke its wings and was bleeding profusely."
He stroked his injured right arm with his left hand, "I remember clearly that the right wing of the eagle in the painting was injured."
Gu Shubai was stunned, recalling the painting on his own lantern at that time, Gu Hanmo said: "Brother's lantern is a phoenix reborn from the ashes, just in response to the omens on the painting, my brother came back from death."
Gu Shubai recalled that time, and muttered: "I saw Yuyi by the fence of the golden well, and I was sleeping on a cold branch of a sycamore tree. The son of Wuling pity Wencai, and the painting and the beauty's embroidered clothes. Drinking and pecking at the top of Pengshan Mountain, and flying with smoke Autumn in the Forbidden City. I once sent Nongyu back to the clouds, and Jin Sui leaned away from the twelfth floor. Heh... this poem really corresponds to my current situation."
He used to be the youngest and most promising son of the imperial capital, the object of pursuit of countless noble girls, and now the phoenix returned from the ashes and was reborn.
He is no longer the Gu Shubai he was back then, he has lost some worldly rigidity, and has a little more insight.
He suddenly remembered the lantern in the jade handrail at that time, "The lantern in the jade handrail is a golden dragon soaring into the clouds. At that time, I wondered why the dragon and the phoenix were upside down. The original meaning is today."
As the crown prince of Beili, she is about to ascend the throne as the emperor. Naturally, a golden dragon is about to soar into the clouds and skyrocket.
Neither of the two brothers expected that their fate had been peeped into and hinted to them by a small lantern a long time ago.
It's a pity that they couldn't understand it at the time, and even if they understood it, they couldn't do anything about it. How can human power go against the sky
In the carriage, Yu Fu slowly opened his eyes.
She didn't fall asleep, she had been listening to the conversation between Gu Shubai and Gu Hanmo, and when she heard them talking about the strange lanterns back then, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
Just like when she was just born, Xunchi had foreseen her mission and the future chaos of Beili, some things are indeed predestined.
But manpower will not be useless, people always have to fight for what they want, instead of waiting for the arrangement of destiny.
She thought about it, and slowly fell asleep.
In the middle of the moon, Gu Shubai helped Gu Hanmo to rest in the carriage, and walked to the side of Yufu's carriage to see if she was sleeping peacefully.
I saw Yu Fu was very restless in his dream, frowning, his small mouth murmuring sleepily.
He smiled lightly and put the brocade quilt over her shoulders to prevent her from catching cold from the night wind. When he got close to her, he finally heard what Yu Fu was raving about.
"One day the clouds are shattered, and the two trees are supported by jade..."
Gu Shubai originally thought it was just a poem implying Yufu's name, but he didn't take it seriously, he closed the door of the carriage again, and suddenly stopped in his tracks when he left.
What is implied in this poem is not only Yufu's name...
