Within a moment, Gu Jiajun had already pressed under the tree where Gu Weiyi was, but had no intention of stopping.
Gu Weiyi steadied his body and looked down, and saw that there were people riding carriages in the middle of the queue, which looked very eye-catching at first glance.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a horse galloping towards the carriage. Although it was almost dusk, Gu Weiyi could still see the face clearly. It was undoubtedly Wei Feng.
Wei Feng drove the horse and carriage at the same speed, said something into the carriage, and then ordered the army to camp where they were.
Gu Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief. It must be that the Marquis and him had already communicated with each other and agreed on this location. Wei Feng saw Gu Duanfei walking past this place without stopping, so he stepped forward and said something. What.
Gu Weiyi looked coldly at the army setting up camp underneath. His eyes were originally following Wei Feng, wanting to see where he would stay in his tent, when he saw Gu Duanfei coming down from the carriage.
As he stepped out of the carriage, there was another person, and the dusk gradually became thicker. Gu Weiyi squinted his eyes in disbelief to confirm.
Surprisingly, it was really Tian Yuchen!
Although he now has two more beards, his appearance is clearly that of Tian Yuchen, the former counselor of Prince Hui's palace.
When Gu Xingyun arrested the concubine, he let Tian Yuchen escape.
Unexpectedly, Gu Duanfei, who had disappeared along with being demoted to a commoner, would get together again.
Gu Weiyi's mouth tightened and he tried his best to steady his breathing.
Even he recognized it, how could Wei Feng not recognize it
If you recognized him, how could you resist killing him
Gu Weiyi suppressed his surprise and waited patiently until he reached the willow branches above the moon.
At the end of the day, people in the military camp were already relaxed. Who would have thought that there would be someone hiding in the tree in this deserted wilderness for so long.
Except for the patrolling soldiers, the other soldiers gradually fell asleep.
Gu Weiyi jumped down quietly and moved towards the temporary stable.
He hid behind the fence and imitated two partridge calls as agreed. After a while, two figures came over with vigilance.
Gu Weiyi didn't appear in a hurry. It wasn't until one of them responded to two calls that he reached out and pulled the two of them from behind the fence.
One of them quickly gave him a set of clothes to change into. After Gu Weiyi changed quickly, the two of them took him towards Wei Feng.
Before he could reach the entrance of the military tent, he was stopped by a soldier: "What are you doing?"
One of them nodded and bowed and said, "There is something wrong with Commander Wei's horse, so we have to come and let him know."
The soldier waved his hand impatiently: "If you don't think of a way to control the horse, what's the point of spreading the news?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Feng's voice came from the tent: "What's wrong with my horse? Come in and talk to me personally."
The soldier glanced at the three of them, and the other two muttered, "Then let's go think about the horse."
They both talked while retreating, leaving only Gu Weiyi. The soldier curled his lips and pointed at him: "Then you go in."
Gu Weiyi nodded and walked into the tent. Wei Feng had already stood up, with a solemn expression on his face, and bowed respectfully to him.
Gu Weiyi also cupped his hands and returned the salute.
Time was running out, and neither of them had any extra courtesy.
After a brief conversation, Gu Weiyi discovered that the matter was far more difficult than he and the Marquis had expected.
Wei Fengyan explained the cause of the matter in a concise and concise manner. Gu Xingyun was still unconscious in Prince Jing's Mansion in Jicheng. It was at that time that Gu Duanfei suddenly appeared in Prince Jing's Mansion, saying that Gu Xingyun was seriously ill and knew that he When the deadline was approaching, he was approached to take over the Gu family army.
Although there was a lot of controversy in the army, several generals immediately supported Gu Duanfei, saying that he was the son of Prince Hui. Now that Gu Xingyun was unconscious and lying in bed, and the military power was not handed over to him, who was qualified to take over
There has been a distinction between clan and branch families since ancient times. In order to prevent branch families from seizing power and harming their fellow clansmen, in line with the ancestral precepts of the family, those in power can only be direct descendants of the clan.
Therefore, when the words of the generals fell to the ground, the rebuttals suddenly stopped.
The generals of the Gu family army are all affiliated to the branch of the Gu family. If they speak out one after another at this moment, they will inevitably be accused of forgetting their ancestors and plotting evil.
If the ancestor of the Gu family were alive in heaven, he would be very angry. It was precisely because he established such a rule back then that he wanted to prevent the children of the clan from thinking about military power.
I never thought that Gu Duanfei, a rebellious son, could so easily succeed to the position of military commander.
If he really settles down here, Gu Xingyun will never wake up again. Over time, maybe Gu Duanfei can really sit in this position.
However, not long after, he took all the Gu family troops to the Western Region and surrendered voluntarily.
Gu Duanfei's reason for surrender was extraordinarily righteous, saying that what Gu Xingyun had in mind was Shenwu, a poison special to the Western Regions, and the Western Regions offered conditions.
Surrender and you can save his life.
Gu Weiyi had always been curious about why Gu Duanfei kept Gu Xingyun alive since he already had military power. If Gu Xingyun didn't die, he might fall to dust from the clouds again at any time.
It wasn't until he heard what Wei Feng said that he knew that Gu Duanfei had kept Gu Xingyun alive and kept him unconscious for this reason.
Gu Duanfei said sadly and looked sad, saying that he only had such a brother, and he only had such a blood relative in this world, how could he not save him!
The other generals couldn't even explain why he usurped power at this moment. After all, he was still trying to do whatever it took to save his brother. He looked completely satisfied and just wanted Gu Xingyun to wake up.
Who can accuse him of deliberately seizing power at this time
The generals of the Gu family's army were all from branches of the clan, and they originally valued the heirs of the Zong family. Although the soldiers in the army were not named Gu, the older ones were all those who had followed Gu Shiqing all the way.
Although there are many recruits, those recruits are also natives who followed Gu Xingyun.
Therefore, this drop was easily beyond Gu Duanfei's expectations and went extremely smoothly.
At the moment, it was beyond Gu Weiyi and Hou Ye's expectations.
Gu Weiyi knew that the Gu family had always valued blood, but after staying in the Zhao family's military camp for many years, he had already been influenced by what he had seen and heard since childhood. He believed that imperial power was supreme and that loyalty to the emperor and patriotism was his duty.
He originally thought that the soldiers in the Gu family army were all forced to obey. He only needed to capture Gu Duanfei, take over the Gu family army with the token jade pendant, and re-garrison the city, and everything would be restored to its original state.
However, the current situation is completely different.
Even though he captured Gu Duanfei and presented the token, the idea of descending to the Western Regions to save Gu Xingyun had already been rooted in the hearts of the soldiers by Gu Duanfei, and I am afraid they would not be easily changed by just the jade pendant.
Gu Weiyi felt deeply powerless. This was due to the difference in belief...
