After Yufu and his party arrived at Zhuguan, they did not continue to come to the imperial capital.
Chen Jingxing asked Zhuguan to stay for one night, but General Guan was unwilling and unable to drive Bei Li's envoys out, so he had to find a different courtyard in the city to arrange them to live in.
In the middle of the night, Bei Li's envoy sent someone to report back, saying that he would go to the other courtyard in person.
At that time, General Guan was staring at the map of the border between Dongling and Xikun. There were numerous dots on it, the black and the red were different.
Hearing the call of Bei Li's envoy, he instantly became angry.
"What did Bei Li's envoys find this general? This general is in charge of defending the city. What they want to eat and drink let them find the mansion! Damn, the major general's body was not found, and the young lady was also lost. Now, I heard that the generals are all in prison. I am sorry for the generals if I die!"
The soldier bowed his head and stood outside the door, not daring to speak for a while. He knew what General Guan was living these days.
He hardly sleeps, and sends people around the border to look for Gu Shubai and Yufu day and night, because the two are mostly a corpse and a living person, and the scope of the search is different, so the marks on the map are getting more and more. complex.
It was so complicated that only the generals could understand them. They could only listen to the orders, and even Zhushan went through it several times, but no matter how they looked for them, they couldn't find any information about the whereabouts of Gu Shubai and Yufu.
The news of the imperial capital Guhou’s Mansion came, and the generals in the army were even more panicked.
He didn't even bother to receive Bei Li's envoys, who knew that these people had to stay in Zhuguan. It was so many things to live there, General Guan finally couldn't help getting angry.
The soldier waited for a while, and when General Guan’s anger was almost calm, he continued: "General, the envoy of Bei Li here is extraordinary, that is the prince. Besides, someone reported that this highness has important matters. Tell the general that if the general does not listen, he will regret it."
"Huh, why do you think the general is willing to receive them? If it weren't for that prince's status, the general would have rushed them to Xiaozhuguan long ago!"
General Guan said, his expression suddenly changed, "Hold on, they are from Xikun, do they know the whereabouts of the major general and the young lady?"
He had always suspected that Yufu had gone to Xikun to find Gu Shubai. Yufu mentioned it to him at the time, but he did not agree, and he disappeared when he came back to Yufu.
He regretted it a lot at the time. He knew that Yufu had made his mind. He might as well help find a suitable route. It's better than a few girls.
It is a pity that they could not go blatantly in Xikun. General Guan sent many spies to investigate in turn, but there was no news of Yufu.
There is finally a glimmer of hope at the moment, he must not miss it!
"Go, go to the other courtyard now!"
…
"General Guan waits a moment here, our Highness will see you in person."
General Guan was sitting in the side hall of the other courtyard. An attendant came up and poured tea. He nodded slightly to signal, but he was dissatisfied with the attitude of the majesty in his heart.
Ask him to come or sit in the main hall, or sit in this small side hall, and let him wait here, isn't he looking down on him
General Guan was not afraid that he would be looked down upon. He was afraid that Gu Jiajun would be looked down upon. He was afraid that Dongling would be looked down upon by Bei Li. That would be a big deal.
For a while, I only heard the sound of light footsteps coming from behind, mixed with the sound of something knocking on the ground.
The sound was quite rhythmic. General Guan thought for a while before he realized that it was the sound of a walking stick.
Could it be that this majesty was injured or physically ill, and had to walk on a cane? Or is he simply a lame...
General Guan was frightened by his own thoughts, and when the voice approached, he put down his tea cup and got up to welcome him.
When the bead curtain rang, a familiar face appeared before his eyes.
Gu Shubai walked towards him slowly with a cane in one hand and a slight smile.
"Major General, you are not dead?!"
Gu Shubai nodded, raised his cane and motioned to him, "But I'm still a little weak, don't hold me so hard."
General Guan quickly released his hand and knelt in front of him with a puff, and he cried, "Major General, I am sorry for you at the end! I lost Miss Yufu!"
The man does not flick lightly when he has tears, just because he has not reached the point of sadness, Gu Shubai rarely sees the tears of Gu's soldiers.
Especially for a person who has gone through the battlefield like this, and his mind has long been honed as a rock, how much hardship has he endured these days before he can't help crying at this moment
The woman's delicate hand gently lifted General Guan, and General Guan raised his head to see Yu Fuying's smiling face.
He was taken aback for a moment, and all the tears were forgotten to flow.
Yufu smiled and said, "Does General Guan not recognize me? I said that I will get my eldest brother back. I didn't break my promise."
General Guan's face suddenly turned red like pig liver, and he quickly wiped away the tears from his face, as if those tears would burn people.
Yufu lowered his head and suffocated a smile, and Gu Shubai almost couldn't help but hold back his laughter.
If they laugh out loud now, General Guan must hate them for a lifetime!
"Okay, everyone sit down and talk."
Yufu sat down with Gu Shubai in his arms. General Guan was relieved when he saw that he was only weak and leaning on his hand. "Major General, after you disappeared that night, there was so much blood left in the room. The final general thought... "I thought you would never survive.
Gu Shubai recounted what happened that night, and he heard General Guan glared, "What, is that Xiaozhuguan's mansion? This desolate conscience eats the dog's stuff, I have to take his skin off!"
Gu Shubai waved his hand, "Don't be impulsive. It is not him who really eats the inside and out, it is Yin Shuo, he is just a running dog of Yin Shuo. Yin Shuo promised that the seventh prince of Xikun Kun Wu was injured, and said that he would help him seize the son, yes and That night Kunwu was injured and led a sneak attack to cooperate with him."
General Guan said: "So, the real collaborator with the enemy and treason is his Yin Shoufu, why are all the people in the Guhou Mansion imprisoned? By the way, major general, miss, are you coming back this time to save the generals?"
When General Guan said this, his expression was excited, Gu Shubai and Yufu looked at each other and realized something.
Yufu said, "General Guan, if we don't come back, are you going to save the generals by yourself?"
General Guan said: "It's not me, it's our Gu Jiajun! Although the general is in jail, Lao Yan Lao Jin and the others are still in the imperial capital. Everyone contacted and planned and tried to rescue everyone in the Guhou Mansion. We all thought about it. , There are 300,000 defenders on the border, and it’s enough for us to transfer 200,000 away—"
"No, General Guan, no matter how far you have planned, stop immediately."
There is no room for negotiation in Gu Shubai's tone. Yufu glanced at him in surprise, and only listened to him continue: "It is impossible for my father to agree with you to use this method. He is loyal throughout his life and will not agree with you even if he died Conspiracy. If you still recognize me as a major general, tell them immediately to stop all deployments."
General Guan hurriedly got up from his seat, and said, "Major General, how could the final general deny you! But in the midst of the traitorous minister, your Majesty is a faint king who does not discern the loyal and traitor. Are we going to watch the generals die? The general has always taught us to be loyal to the monarch and love the people. There is no one in the Gu Jiajun who is unfaithful and unrighteous, but is the monarch sitting in the dragon chair really worthy of our loyalty?!"
Yufu listened quietly. She and Gu Hanmo and the others had not thought about the method of rebelling with troops. They had reached the point of contacting foreign aid, and they were still rejected by Gu Huaijiang.
For Gu Huaijiang, loyalty is more important than life. Unexpectedly, from the Guhou Mansion to the Gu Jiajun, only one Gu Shubai understood his heart.
No wonder his most respected son is Gu Shubai.
"General Guan, we have a better way now. You can just listen to your elder brother. I promise to rescue everyone in the Guhou Mansion. Do you believe me?"
General Guan couldn’t help being confused when he heard what Yufu said. He suddenly thought that this was the other courtyard where the envoy Bei Li was staying. He said strangely: "Miss Yufu, where is the Prince of Beili? Why are you staying with him? Will he help rescue him? Are they general?"
He looked outside and lowered his voice, "Major General, Miss, are you sure that Bei Li can be trusted?"
Yufu couldn't help but smile anymore, "Okay, General Guan, speak ill of me in front of me, is there something wrong with Guhou Mansion, you shouldn't treat me as a lady in the mansion?"
General Guan said hurriedly: "How can the final general say bad things about the young lady, what the final general said is clearly—"
Suddenly, he was stunned, and turned to look at Gu Shubai, who also smiled without saying a word.
Now he was completely dumbfounded, and finally reacted after a long while, watching Yufu smirking, "Now the general is saved, the general is saved! Hahaha, I will tell them to go!"
Now Lao Jin is about to be proud again. The little girl he had snatched from outside the Immortal Valley not only saved Gu Huaijiang's life, but also turned out to be Bei Li's prince!
It is said that stupid people have stupid blessings. It is a pity that Lao Jin can't go to the casino if he is lucky.
"Hold on."
Yufu stopped him, "General Guan, we will let you come alone tonight, just don't want this matter to be known to everyone. Think about it, the mansion at Xiaozhuguan can be bought by Yin Shuo, and it may not be there in Zhuguan. His eyeliner. If Yin Shuo knew that his eldest brother was still alive, he would definitely have a vicious plan again."
General Guan’s laughter stopped abruptly, with a solemn expression on his face, "Yes, miss, oh no your highness, your highness is right. Then the general will quietly tell the other generals about this, and let everyone withdraw their troops. Is that right?"
Gu Shubai said: "No, it can't be completely withdrawn."
He leaned in to General Guan’s ear and whispered a few words. General Guan’s complexion gradually changed from confusion to clear, and finally smiled, "I will do it, I will do it!"
…
Since Gu Jiuge and Gu Hanmo came out of prison to participate in the martial arts competition, Yin Shuo has become more and more vigilant towards Ji Chengfa and feels that he has no good intentions.
This is obviously not his child's mind. Behind Ji Chengfa, there must be a more powerful pusher guiding him to do these things.
That pusher... Will it be Chujun Bei Li
He picked up the letter from the book table, his brows furrowed, "Bei Li Chujun and his entourage arrived at Zhuguan, and they settled all night, and then set off again the next day. We were followed all the way to Xiaozhuguan, but the other party actually followed him all the way. We haven't even shown her face, we don't know if it is a young person or a middle-aged person."
The subordinate said: "My son, our people have tried their best, but the other party is really difficult. When we are on the road, the carriage is airtight, and the place where we settle down at night is heavily guarded, and it is difficult to insert a needle. This Bei Li Chujun is extremely mysterious, and even the ministers next to him, we only found out the surname Chen."
Yin Shuo sneered, "The people of Beili are really weird. No wonder they sent a child to be an envoy. If the Prince of Beili is also a child, it would be interesting."
The subordinate said: "Our people have studied the rut marks of the bright yellow carriage, but there seems to be a lot of things on the car, and there are more than one person. It is impossible to judge the prince's figure from the depth of the rut."
"That's natural, how honorable is the Prince of Beili, and there are naturally maids and others in the car. Since the other party is so airtight, you don't have to follow it anymore, and there is no result if you follow it. I asked you to look for Yufu. Woolen cloth?"
The subordinates were embarrassed and bowed and said: "Last time the son said that the Princess Zhenjiang might have returned to the Immortal Valley. Our people tried to inquire near the Immortal Valley, but they couldn't get close at all. However, there was a news that someone saw that person. Bei Li's envoy Ji Chengfa seems to have come out of Immortal Valley."
Yin Shuo stood up suddenly, "What? Ji Chengfa came from Immortal Valley? Why are you telling me such important news now?"
The subordinate hurriedly lowered his head, "It was not intentional to conceal it, but the news has been inaccurate. To this day, the subordinate is only 80% sure, and I dare not conclude that he must have come from the Immortal Valley."
By now, there is no difference between 80% or 100% certainty for Yin Shuo.
This news is like the last straw, confirming Yin Shuo’s suspicion and making him suddenly cheerful—
Ji Chengfa is here to save everyone in the Guhou Mansion!
Unconsciously, his hand squeezed the letter paper on the table, and slowly tightened it, crumpling the tough cow leather paper into a ball. The rugged lines on the paper and the blue veins on his hand resembled the letter of a poisonous snake.
His voice was cold, "Go down and prepare, I will enter the palace tomorrow morning, the lives of everyone in the Guhou Mansion will not be saved!"
The next day.
The sedan chair of the Xiang's Mansion hurriedly headed towards the palace, and Yin Jizheng went to the house to greet Yin Yan, just in time to see Yin Shuo hurriedly leaving the mansion from the back.
She subconsciously felt that it was not good, what would make Yin Shuo such a hurry
Doesn't it have anything to do with Guhou Mansion
"Ji, why are you stunned here?"
Princess Danyang's voice suddenly sounded, and Yin Jizhen was startled and turned to look at her, "It's nothing, I just saw the eldest brother leave in a hurry, and the direction seems to be entering the palace."
Princess Danyang looked at the direction of the mansion gate and smiled faintly, "Don't worry about things in the center, let your eldest brother do it yourself. You are a daughter's house, and the old prime minister mentioned that he would choose your son-in-law a few days ago. It’s something, you’re no longer young, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, don’t love someone you shouldn’t love like I did before..."
Yin Ji's heart was filled with speculation about Yin Shuo's trip, she didn't listen to Princess Danyang's words carefully, and she reacted after hearing it.
"What to choose a son-in-law? I'm not going to marry, so don't help my father with these ideas."
"Are you not marrying someone or don't you want to marry someone else?"
Princess Danyang has been with her for so long, and she understands her thoughts, knowing that she still has Gu Jiugee in her heart, "Ji Yong, I am a person here, so please listen to my advice. Guhou Mansion is now like this. In the end, what good is it for you to like Gu Jiugege anymore? Are you going to die with him? Don’t think I don’t know what you did. I didn’t tell your elder brother, it doesn’t mean I agree with your approach."
Only then did Yin Jiying understand that Princess Danyang had known about her visit to Gu Huaijiang and others in jail a few days ago.
She took Princess Danyang’s hand, "Danyang, you know that the people in Guhou’s Mansion did not collude with the enemy and treason, did nothing wrong, how can you say such a thing? What the hell are you doing, you and I know well, Do you want to keep pretending to be deaf?"
Princess Danyang smiled sadly, "If I don't pretend to be deaf, what else can I do? He is already married to him, and I have no choice."
Yin Jizheng squeezed her hand, "Then you just watched the Guhou mansion die unjustly, and watched your eldest brother frame Zhongliang Chaozhong? Think about how they helped you in the first place, and they want to take you away. You refused the prison of the mansion. If you still have a little conscience, if you still consider yourself to be the daughter of the first emperor, you will stand up and protect them for the first emperor!"
She took Princess Danyang and walked out, "Go, let's go into the palace and tell your Majesty that we must not let the eldest brother frame Guhou Mansion again!"
The person behind her is as solid as a rock, no matter how she pulls it, she can't move it. Yin Jizheng turned her head and saw Princess Danyang's numb face, "Jizhen, stop making trouble."
