Chapter 36: parted ways

Views:

This was completely different from what he expected, Gu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out, "Why?"

Chang Geng answered with reason and reason: "The Western Regions have adopted father's Xuantie Camp, and I'm just causing trouble when I go. It's meaningless to bother you to give me some illusory military exploits."

Although Gu Yun generally thought so, but when Chang Geng pointed it out in person, he still felt like he had been splashed with cold water, barely keeping his face unchanged, Gu Yun said, "That's fine, go back to Beijing to go to the court ahead of schedule. It's okay, my teacher has some students, you can get to know them in advance."

Chang Geng: "Isn't that the same?"

While speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the end of the small promenade. But listening to the servants of Yao Mansion, although it looks brilliant, in fact, the flowering period is only ten days and a half months, and it will be defeated soon after it blooms. This is still in the garden. In the wild countryside, it blooms quietly, and then withers quietly, life and death are like the sky and the earth in an instant, and there are only a few wild birds and beasts around, who knows

Flowers are like this, and so are many meaningless loves and dislikes in people's hearts.

Chang Geng: "Foster father, there are a lot of strange people around the master. I want to travel around with them, and I won't delay reading and practicing."

Isn't this bullshit

He didn't say anything, but Gu Yun's face sank, and he said, "No way."

-

Chang Geng turned sideways and looked at him silently.

There was something indescribable in the boy's backlit eyes. Gu Yun had never noticed it before, but he was a little frightened by the sudden encounter. He immediately realized that his tone was a bit blunt, so he calmed down slightly, and said, "It's okay for you to go out to play, when you get back to Beijing, ask Uncle Wang to transfer a few guards from Hou's Mansion to accompany you around, but there is a point. , you are not allowed to go to places where there is no imperial post, and every time you go to a post, you have to send me a letter to report safety."

Chang Geng said indifferently, "Is there any place in the world? Then I might as well go to the Huguo Temple to burn incense with the ladies, and save the money."

Gu Yun: ""

This kid will talk back!

It is also elegant and calm, with a hint of irony!

Gu Yun's good mood, which had just been soaked in Jiangnan's spring, suddenly disappeared, and he thought to himself, "Why doesn't it make sense, did I spoil him so much that he wants to go to the room?"

His tone became a little impatient: "The rivers and lakes are long and the people are sinister, what's the fun? That monk can't pick up his shoulders, and he will beg for food unless he runs for his life. If something happens to you along the way, how can I get along with him? The first emperor explained?"

"Ah," Chang Geng thought indifferently, "As expected, it was because he wanted to explain to the late emperor. If the late emperor Jiuquan heard that I was a little bastard that Xiu Niang got out of nowhere, and used to confuse the royal bloodline, I might be too angry to plan. Huan Yang came to strangle me."

Every time he glanced at Gu Yun, he felt that his heart was twisted by a knife, and the sin was serious once, and he wished he could abscond in fear of the crime immediately. But the man actually held him and wouldn't let him go.

Chang Geng faced Gu Yun who knew nothing, and for a while, a lingering resentment developed in his heart for no reason, but he quickly returned.

Chang Geng retracted his gaze from Gu Yun, and said calmly, "My adoptive father told me a few days ago that as long as it's the path I want to choose, it doesn't count so soon?"

Gu Yun's heart burst into flames: "I said let you think about it yourself, do you think it's OK?"

Chang Geng is serious: "I really think so."

"No, think again! Talk to me after you've figured it out." Gu Yun didn't want to attack him outside, so he threw his sleeves angrily and turned away.

Chang Geng watched his back, brushed off the petals on his body, and heard footsteps behind him. He didn't need to turn his head to hear who it was, and said, "Master Ming is laughing."

Knowing that the monk didn't dare to come out at first, he probed his head for a long time, and when he saw Gu Yun had left, he showed up at ease, gestured and said in a sloppy manner, "Master Hou is kind."

Chang Geng lowered his head and looked at his hands. There were fine calluses on them, but they had not been baptized by scars.

He said indifferently: "I don't want to be a waste who relies on him for everything under his good intentions."

"The monk thinks that His Highness is a bit extreme," clearly gestured, "Even when the saints were young, most of them grew up under the protection of their parents and elders. According to His Highness's standards, isn't the world a waste? , we must guard against arrogance and impatience.”

Chang Geng didn't reply, obviously he didn't listen.

The monk understood again: "I see that His Highness is gloomy, and the poison has penetrated into the bones."

Chang Geng was startled, thinking that he knew about Wu Ergu.

However, the monk said again: "People are poisonous in their hearts, some are deep, some are shallow. Your Highness's age should not be so thorough, your mind is too heavy."

Chang Geng smiled bitterly: "What do you know?"

He always felt that everything around him—the king, the false name, was stolen by Xiu Niang. One day, someone would see that he was not a good match for these things, let him show his faults, and let him lose everything.

He was used to this kind of panic all day long, and Chang Geng always felt that he was an outsider in the capital.

Gu Yun planned for his future from the perspective of the Fourth Highness, and he had no sense of reality in his heart.

Looking in the mirror every day, I know that I am a "earth dragon" rolling in the mud, but others want to insert horns and scales on him, and go to great lengths to dress him up as a real dragon, but no matter how many decorations, it is nondescript, he is always the same. The bar shall not be earthworms on the countertop.

In this case, it is better to simply stay away to save embarrassment in the future.

There was only one Gu Yun, who brought him such unforgettable joys, sorrows, and sorrows, without the slightest bit of adulteration, he couldn't deceive himself and let it go gently, but he often felt that he was not worthy.

Chang Geng didn't feel sorry for himself for a long time, he quickly came back and asked, "By the way, Master, I've always wanted to ask you, what's wrong with my little adoptive father? He was very wrong on that trip to the East China Sea, but he refused to tell me. "

The monk hurriedly shook his head: "Amitabha, the monk dare not say it."

Chang Geng frowned, "It doesn't matter if he is stubborn, you still help him?"

"Isn't the Marquis that unnecessarily arrogant person?" Lingran smiled, "If he doesn't want to mention this, it's not because he is afraid that others will know his weakness, probably because it's the poison on his body and the poison in his heart - who would dare Touching the scales of Marquis Anding? Your Highness took my life."

Chang Geng frowned thoughtfully.

Gu Yun finally took a deserting from the desert and yellow sand for two days. He wanted to take a good look at the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, go out to walk a horse, swim a lake, see a few beauties and so on. Feeling depressed, he was bored in the room and refused to go out. Anyway, he was angry when he saw Chang Geng, Yao Zhen was also angry, and he was even more angry when he saw it.

The Yao family's two arrogant children were still unwilling to stop. You and I were blowing the bamboo flute, and everyone in eight villages could hear them, like a pair of noisy starlings.

As soon as Gu Yun heard the untuned voice, he remembered the way Chang Geng took the flute out of his hand, and became even more angry - wasn't everything given to his foster father before? How to say change

The fate of parents and children in the poor world seems to be linked by blood, but it turns out that they can't last long.

Not to mention that they are not relatives, and they are not even connected by blood.

In the evening, a mysterious eagle landed in the courtyard: "Commander, General Shen has a letter."

Gu Yun held back his breath, took a look, and saw that Shen Yi's broken mouth was quite concise in writing letters, just three words - hurry, hurry back.

Shen Yi has been born and died with him since he went out of the Lingshu Courtyard, what battle have you not seen? It's all right, I won't be offended and write an expedited letter to urge him.

Xuan Ying: "Commander, look at it"

Gu Yun: "Understood, there is no need to go back, we will leave tomorrow."

Chang Geng hasn't said anything yet, Gu Yun wanted to bask him for two days, but Shen Yi was in a hurry and couldn't do anything, so he walked around the room for two times, then got up and looked for it.

Chang Geng was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, Gu Yun watched for a while, then suddenly pulled out Xuan Ying's saber, Xuan Ying's armor was still on, the epee was as wide as the palm of an adult's hand, and he was lightly carried by him like a feather duster. Hand: "Be careful."

Before he finished speaking, a sword had already been swept out, Chang Geng caught it firmly, but did not retreat a step.

"I've grown," Gu Yun thought to himself, "I have some strength in my hands."

With a sharp lift, he turned over with the strength of the sword in his hand, and opened and closed his sword like a full moon.

Chang Geng didn't dare to take it hard, he took a few wrong steps, but he couldn't let go of the power of his sword. The heavy heavy sword in Gu Yun's hand was like a serpent spitting out a letter. Having retreated to the corner, he jumped sideways on the beam, the whole person spun in the air, and stepped on Gu Yun's heavy sword.

Gu Yun shouted hello, and suddenly released the hilt of the sword. Chang Geng's feet suddenly lost support and stumbled. Gu Yun reached out and grabbed the hilt again, and pressed down gently. On the shoulders of the young man, Xuan Tie Jianguang gave him goose bumps in his neck.

Gu Yun laughed, patted Chang Geng's shoulder with his epee, and threw the epee to Xuan Ying behind him: "Yes, I never slack off in kung fu."

Chang Geng moved his numb wrists for a moment: "It's far worse than the adoptive father."

Gu Yun said boldly: "Well, that's still a long way off."

Chang Geng: ""

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you be humble first and then teach two sentences with sincerity? How could he still climb the pole! Is there such a humble adoptive father

Gu Yun: "If you come to the Northwest Camp, I can teach you personally."

Sure enough, for this, Chang Geng couldn't help but laugh.

It's strange to say that sometimes, when a person really wants something, the authorities can't ask for it, and suddenly feel that he doesn't want it, and that thing will come to his door.

Chang Geng politely declined: "When I was in Hou's mansion, I once asked Master that my adoptive father practiced swordsmanship and martial arts in Hou's mansion when he was a child. Why is he so powerful? Master told me that if you have a solid kung fu, it depends on how much effort you are willing to put in. Kung Fu It's amazing, mainly because there are many situations of life and death on the battlefield, and it's the same for everyone."

Gu Yun's smile disappeared.

Chang Geng: "Foster father, I've thought about it, but I still want to go out and see the world."

Gu Yun frowned and said, "Isn't the world in the capital and the frontier not heaven and earth? What else do you want to see, the beam can't hold you? Do you still want to swim to the Western Ocean?"

Another quarrel, Xuan Ying didn't dare to say a word from behind - the tall Sky Killer hugged his heavy sword and pretended to be a coal pile that he forgot to collect.

Chang Geng didn't say anything, he just looked at Gu Yun deeply. For a moment, he wanted to pour out the things that he had suppressed in his heart like vomiting, and then he endured it back - he imagined Gu Yun's possible reaction, and felt You may not be able to bear it.

Gu Yun: "You don't need to say it, I don't want to know where all your messy thoughts come from. Tomorrow, let the monk get out. You honestly go back to the capital. If you don't want to go to the northwest, then stay at home. Don't go!"

Chang Geng wanted to shout at Gu Yun, "The Hou residence is not my home."

But the words had already reached his mouth, and he was bitten in half again and swallowed. He was afraid to say it and hurt Gu Yun's heart - although he didn't know if Gu Yun had a heart to hurt.

"Foster father," Chang Geng said quietly, "I feel very sad that you came from the northwest this time, but if you are unreasonable, I can only be willful. If I can run once, I can run twice. Second, you can't look at me forever, and Hou's house won't be able to keep me locked up."

Gu Yun was stunned. The Hou residence has always been where his heart belongs. No matter how much he doesn't want to go back to Beijing, when he thinks that he can go home, he still has something to look forward to. Only then did he realize that in Chang Geng's eyes, it was like that place. Like prison.

Gu Yun: "You can try."

The two parted ways again.

Xuan Ying hurriedly chased after him, Gu Yun hadn't gone far, and he didn't shy away that Chang Geng heard it or not, so he coldly instructed: "You don't have to follow me tomorrow, follow the Fourth Highness to the capital, you can't let him leave the capital one step!"

Xuan Ying: "Yes."

Even if the fire at the city gate affects the pond fish, even the black eagle flying at the gate burns into a bald chicken, which is really a disaster.

Early the next morning, Gu Yun left in a fit of anger.

He didn't see Chang Geng again. When he was about to leave, the immoral Marquis of An Ding sneaked into the courtyard of Yao Da's five-year-old child and took away the bamboo flute that was placed on the swing. When the child woke up, he found The flute disappeared out of thin air, and he was so sad that he cried all day.

Gu Yun rushed back more quickly than when he came, and the first sentence was: "Prepare me the medicine."

Shen Yise said solemnly, "Can you still hear it now?"

"Yes," Gu Yun said, "it's almost impossible, speak up if you have something to say."

Shen Yi took out a few pieces of paper from his arms: "This is Sha Scorpion's confession. I haven't shown it to anyone else. I'll try it myself, and I'll wait for the commander to come back and decide."

As Gu Yun walked, he glanced at ten lines at a time. Suddenly, he stopped and folded the paper in his hand.

For a moment, his expression was a little scary.

Sand Scorpion's invasion of the ancient Silk Road was just a matter of passing. His target was actually Loulan. He had a treasure map of Loulan in his hand. The so-called "treasure" was actually a thousand hectares of Ziliu gold mine.

Shen Yi lowered his voice and asked, "Commander, this is a serious matter, should I report it to the court?"

Gu Yun blurted out: "No."

He quickly changed his mind: "Where is the picture?"

Shen Yi whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "The sand scorpion is tattooed on my belly."

Gu Yun: "I didn't say where did it come from?"

"It was stolen," Shen Yi said. "These sand bandits are rampant, people from the Central Plains, people from the Western Regions, and Westerners. When they meet someone who robs someone, they don't even know who they stole from."

Gu Yun gave a "uh", narrowed his eyes that were beginning to blur, and looked at the prosperous Loulan with thousands of lights in the distance. A Loulan young man saw him from a distance. He sat on the city wall like a madman and played a single string Qin, watching Gu Yun kept smiling.

Gu Yun had no time to tease with these Loulan people who knew how to drink and play when they were full, and went back and shoved the pieces of paper into Shen Yi: "Quiet your mouth."

Shen Yi's pupils shrank slightly.

"Destroy the mouth, destroy the corpse and destroy the trace," Gu Yun's lips barely moved, and the words were between his teeth, "connected with the sand bandits, they said that the bandits were going to escape from prison, and our soldiers had no choice but to kill them. - This matter is between you and me, if it leaks out, you are the only one who asks, and immediately trace the origin of that treasure map."

Shen Yi: "Yes."

After a while, he asked again: "Commander, I heard that there are rumors from the capital that King Wei is under house arrest?"

Gu Yun glanced at him: "You also said it was a rumor, the imperial decree has not yet been issued, don't make random guesses, and do your business."

Shen Yi responded, but Gu Yun's tiredness did not disappear, and he pressed the corner of his eyes lightly on the spot, hoping that he had overreacted to this treasure map of unknown origin.

The calamity in the East China Sea is still unresolved, and there is another change in the northwest. He always thinks that these things are not coincidences.

Half a month later, two Jiangnan memorials appeared in front of Longan Emperor Li Feng.

Li Feng knocked on the table, and a man in his forties with a long beard immediately stepped forward and turned on the gas light for him. This man was the emperor's uncle, named Wang Guo, the most favored minister today.

Li Feng opened the above document, which was exactly what Yao Zhen discussed with Gu Yun that day. He hid the Xuantie Camp and Linyuan Pavilion, and filmed the flattery of Jiangnan officials from top to bottom. Finally, he praised the virtues. After reading it, he didn't say anything, and picked up the second envelope.

The second letter is a secrecy, with a completely different rhetoric than the previous one, which reads: "On the day when the bandits were suppressed at sea, dozens of Marquis Anding, Xuan Ying, and Xuan Jia appeared in the East China Sea, took the thief's head, and confessed according to the thief's head. The rebel Haijiao commander has a woman with a mysterious whereabouts, who is suspected to be someone from Linyuan Pavilion, who seems to be an old acquaintance of Gu Yun."

Li Feng didn't say anything after seeing it, and handed the two memorials to Wang Guo.

Uncle Wang Guo looked at it quickly, carefully looked at Li Feng's uncertain color, and guessed what he meant and said, "This emperor, the Marquis of Anding is involved, although there is no fault, but this is leaving his post without permission."

Li Feng: "He has Xuan Ying who can travel thousands of miles in a day, and he has only a few days to cross the Central Plains. Although he left his post without authorization, he is not particularly out of touch, but I don't understand why it is so coincidental that Marquis Anding played a role in it. Role?"

Wang Zhuo's eyelids jumped and he realized something.

Li Feng's slender fingers tapped on the desk: "And Linyuan Pavilion - Linyuan Pavilion has been hidden in the world for many years, why did it suddenly show up? When did Gu Yun get in touch with these people?"

In Linyuan Pavilion, when the prosperous world does not exist, there will be chaos.

Wang Guo took a deep breath: "Your Majesty said that Gu Yun had a bad heart—"

Li Feng squinted at him and smiled slightly: "Where did Uncle Guo want to go, Uncle Sixteen grew up with me since childhood, and made great achievements in suppressing rebellion. If you think so, won't it chill the hearts of loyal ministers?"

Wang Bao didn't understand what he meant, so he only dared to agree and didn't dare to answer.

Li Feng: "It's just that I have a big beam of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and all the north and south rely on him alone. Wouldn't I have to tire my little uncle to death? I thought, it's time to find someone to share the worries for him."
