Gu Weiyi didn't know why Mr. Hou suddenly mentioned this matter. He grunted and accepted it, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the orchid hairpin in his sleeve.
The Marquis laughed and said: "Chu'er once told me that he fell in love with you twice in the military camp. Apart from giving you this hairpin, he still owes you one love. In the future, he will definitely return it to you."
Xia Chu was really thinking about the fact that she had fallen in love with Gu Weiyi twice.
One time, it was when he first entered the military camp. Gu Weiyi took him to the training ground to introduce him to everyone, and specifically asked him to take more care of him.
Another time, Gu Weiyi knelt down and kowtowed for General Zhao in his tent, begging General Zhao to take the punishment for him.
Gu Weiyi didn't even remember it, but Xia Chu always remembered it in his heart.
He looked stunned and looked at the Marquis suspiciously.
"This is a token of the Gu family's military power. With it, you can legitimately take back your military power." The Marquis took out a jade pendant from his arms.
Although the night was dark, the jade pendant was still shining brightly under the moonlight.
Gu Weiyi's breath was stagnant. As a child of the Gu family, he naturally knew this jade pendant. It was a jade pendant that only the head of the Gu family was qualified to own.
This jade pendant has always been inherited by the clan family and has never been in the hands of branch families.
He only met him once when he participated in the ancestral sacrifice in his first year of school.
The Xiao Kingdom's military strength is now divided into four, and each military power holder has a token equivalent to a tiger talisman.
Zhao Dingshan's token is a dagger with the word "Zhao" engraved on the body, which was given by his ancestors.
Shi Fuqiu's token is said to be a token. It is said that it is because after he took over the Gu Jiajun, he made a token of pure gold with the word "Shi" engraved on it.
Xiao Mubai's token is a gold seal with a totem carved on it and the word '白' engraved on it.
Gu Shiqing's token is the jade pendant in the hands of the Marquis, with the word "Gu" engraved on it.
Later, he passed it on to Gu Xingyun.
Seeing Gu Weiyi's shocked look, the Marquis handed the jade pendant forward again.
At first, when the Marquis opened the bag of tips that Xiao Mubai handed over to Xia Chu, he saw this jade pendant. His expression at that time was exactly the same as Gu Weiyi's now.
He knew that Bingwen had helped Gu Xingyun solve the case of Prince Hui's mysterious death and received a large sum of gold.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xingyun not only gave up his money, but also invested so much money and handed over this jade pendant as a token.
Gu Weiyi swallowed his saliva, and his Adam's apple rolled. He reached out and carefully took the jade pendant, and his words were full of disbelief: "How did you get it?"
The Marquis raised his eyebrows proudly: "Chu'er said that his second love was returned to you."
"What a good boy." Gu Weiyi praised him sincerely. From the corner of his eye, he saw the Marquis raise his chin to the top and coughed again: "As expected of Lan Sheng's son."
The Marquis laughed out loud: "That is also my bloodline."
Gu Weiyi snorted: "I inherited Lan Sheng's valiant demeanor and intelligence, which have nothing to do with you."
The Marquis suppressed his smile and became serious: "You'd better hurry up. We have Shang Yang in front of us, and there are people from the Western Regions behind us who will follow."
Gu Weiyi blinked twice and looked confused. Even if the people from the Western Region wanted to follow up, shouldn't they be following Shang Yang
How could it come from behind Linshun's butt
The Marquis was not answering his questions, he had already turned around and headed towards the bottom of the tower.
Seeing this, Gu Weiyi carefully put away the jade pendant, and then went downstairs to make preparations to sneak into the Gu family army.
The reason why the Marquis didn't say anything was because he didn't want to disturb Gu Weiyi's mind.
Secondly, this matter is also his own inference.
When he was leaving, Xiao Mubai told the truth about Yue Feng staying in Xiao country.
It was precisely because of this that he left the Hou Mansion without delay that night and went straight to Jicheng.
As for his inference that Yue Fengwan was behind him, it was also because when he was rushing into the city in recent days, he heard news about the branch number of Emperor Anfeng's bodyguard in the city.
It was said that a recent mission had not yet been delivered to the recipient. The people in Anfengli investigated carefully and found the bodies of the Anfeng escorts near Wuzhou.
This incident was widely circulated in various cities and became an unsolved case because the body was found in Wuzhou. After Yin Guangbo took over, the time of death confirmed by the autopsy was close to the day when the Marquis left.
Moreover, people also left the village dock on the outskirts of Wuzhou by boat, not to mention Huo Tianxiu's vigorous pursuit.
Yin Guangbo also sent a message to the Marquis just in case.
The Marquis took this as an inference that the person behind him was probably the Yue Fengwan that Xiao Mubai mentioned.
Otherwise, who else is worthy of Huo Tianxiu personally going out to Beijing to arrest him
At this moment, he did not know that Yue Feng had blown up Xishan, that the emperor was really unconscious this time, that there had been a palace coup in the capital, that Chang'an had been besieged, and that news had been completely cut off.
Therefore, he was still in the mood to make jokes with Gu Weiyi on the Linshun tower.
The Marquis was just a little bit puzzled. The letter he wrote back should have been delivered long ago, so why was there no reply for so long.
He thought it was the young couple mixing honey with each other, and forgot about him as a little old man. He was still thinking in his heart that he must take care of these two little bastards when he went back...
At this time, Gu Weiyi returned to his room, packed a simple bag, brought a day's worth of dry food and water, and hurried to Shangyang according to the route arranged by the Marquis.
Two of the spies Bingwen had arranged in Jincheng had infiltrated into the army to feed horses. After the Marquis set out, these two people were directly handed over to the Marquis for deployment, and now they were arranged to pick up Gu Weiyi.
Although Gu Weiyi was walking all the way towards Shang Yang, he had no intention of entering Shang Yang.
After dawn, the Gu family's army would also break out of camp and set off for Linshun. What he needed to do was to rush to the wilderness area between the two cities. While the army was camping in the wild, he took the opportunity to be picked up by the two men and sneaked into the Gu family's army camp to meet him. Wei Feng.
The Marquis did not die for him. When Gu Weiyi arrived at the deserted place, the Gu family army had not arrived yet, and he still had time to survey the terrain and surrounding environment.
Based on many years of experience in marching and stationing, Gu Weiyi calculated the location where the main tent would be set up and where the horse pens would be kept.
After he finished all this, he took off the reins of the horse he rode on and let it leave freely, so as not to arouse Gu Jiajun's suspicion. He jumped up on a tree and perched on a branch waiting for Gu Jiajun's arrival.
As expected, he took out the jade pendant and the orchid hairpin and sighed with emotion for about an hour.
The branch he was leaning on obviously vibrated slightly with the ground.
Gu Weiyi looked around, and saw a dark field in the distance, flying the military flag with the word "Gu", pressing towards him in a mighty manner...
